Encourage Your Angel Wing Begonia to Bloom

How can I get my angel wing begonia to bloom?

Grow your angel wing begonia in a partially shaded location outdoors or in a warm bright location indoors.  These tropical plants need to move indoors for winter in areas where temperatures drop below 50 degrees. Water the soil thoroughly and often enough to keep it slightly moist but not soggy.  Use a dilute solution of any flowering houseplant fertilizer spring through fall or whenever the plant is actively growing.  Flowering plant fertilizers are higher in phosphorous and help promote bloom.  Keeping the plant slightly potbound will also help encourage flowering.
