Begonias The begonias listed here can be grown under the same environment as violets. Though all will flower (most are white to pink), it's their beautiful, often spectacular, leaves that make them unique These are tropical begonias, meaning they should be grown as houseplants. Care is simple, leaves will be prettiest when given good light and moderate humidity. Also, be sure not to let them wilt, as this will easily damage the plant. We specialize in small varieties for the indoor garden FOR MORE BEGONIA VARIETIES SEE THE "COLLECTOR'S TREASURE" PAGE
