Keep it out of reach of pets and small children.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow much light does an Angel Wing Begonia need?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBright, indirect light is ideal. Place it near an east-facing window or on a shaded balcony. Avoid harsh direct afternoon sun, which scorches the leaves, and very dark corners, which cause leggy growth and fewer flowers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy are the leaves of my Begonia drooping or rotting?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is usually from overwatering or poor drainage.
