Hi Guys :-D In this video I share tips on How To Care For the Begonia bowerae aka Begonia Tiger Paws and Begonia Leprechaun and Begonia Little Tiger :-D
Thank you for sharing beautiful amazing plant I never saw one like that before have a blessed day
This Begonia Tiger paws is an incredible and very beautiful Begonia, so happy you love it Jillian :-D and thanks so much for your wonderful comment and support and for watching, and sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a wonderful Wednesday XXXX
I've got this one too. The mother plant succumbed to the root rot in its first winter sadly but I'd taken cuttings which have done much better in my own soil mix with more drainage. One is flowering away nicely at the moment. I water from underneath now and use Babybio like you suggest. It does put out runners a bit like strawberries which are easy to propagate.
Thats fantastic news that you have this beautiful begonia too Dave :-D and well done on saving the Mother plant from rot, and so wonderful that one of them is in flower now
I love this one, I have a large one that I'm always propagating and giving away the babies to friends
So happy you love this Begonia and have this one too Nickolas :-D and its so much fun to propagate the and give away to friends :-D thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching and sending you an abundance of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a marvellous Monday XXXXX
I have a Beefsteak Begonia given to me by a good friend's mother. It is beautiful! She said she water propagated it. Maybe one day I'll be brave enough to try but for now I'll just enjoy my plant baby the way she is...lol. I enjoyed your video and the Begonia very much!
I bet your Beefsteak Begonia is a beauty Aubrey :-D I love Begonias so much with their wonderful leaf patterning
I saw this begonia and had to have it! I love the leaves. I can stare at her all day!!! I definitely am smitten with this one, it started my begonia fascination! I didn’t really get the appeal before this one!
So happy you love this cute Begonia Avi :-D its a real beauty and the wonderful spotted colourful leaves are so attractive :-D so happy that you have started a Begonia fascination too haha :-D they truly are beautiful plants to grow
Love your Begonia collection Lyn! Lovely coloured leaves and such beautiful patterns! I have the common begonias...in fact I had one which was neglected and ended up in a very long stem and just 2 leaves on top! So I cut the stem into pieces and put in water until it rooted, then potted them. Until now they are ok! Have an amazing evening Lyn and Hans! Sending you lots of love!
Thats wonderful you love Begonias too Sylvia, they are fantastic house plants and I really love their gorgeous leaves, well done on propagating your Begonia and getting ti to re root, thanks so much Sylvia for your wonderful comments and support and for watching and Hans and I are sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER to Malta for afantastic afternoon XXXX
Hi Lyn, beautiful colors and leaf patterns. I just started collecting indoor house plants and will have to add Begonia to my list. Thank you for sharing amazing plants 🌱
So happy you love this beautiful begonia J M :-D and so wonderful that you have started to collect indoor House plants too :-D Begonia's are so amazing with their beautiful colourful and very patterned leaves :-D thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching and sending you an abundance of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a marvellous Monday XXXXX
I just got this on from a local lady! I love love begonias but I always unalive them 😢
I think I water too much! So this one that I just got and I'm not watering until the soil is light. I would-be so disappointed if I over watererd this one.
I feel like it needs to be in a shallower pot? It's currently in a deep nursery pot. It's also under a glass dome so fingers crossed!
Thats fantastic you have got one of these Begonia bowerae's Natasha :-D they are absolutely beautiful, they can be rot prone and its definitely better to under water than over water, they do have quite shallow root systems and prefer to be in a shallower pot than a deep one, Happy growing your new beauty, and thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching, and sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a super Sunday XXXX
i have my first begonia, the largest of six babies propagated from a pair of leaves given to me by a lovely bookseller! the best ID i have on it is “tiger”, definitely rhizomatous. the thick stem teh leaves grow up from is the rhizome? it is growing over the pot edge like your tiny one. you implied that one can take rhizome cuttings...i’d like it to “stay in the pot” a bit more and may try that. it’s been hard to find info on how these actually grow, so thanks for this video! (our son got his master’s at Queen’s College and we’ve visited there twice. we love bittles, st george’s, and belfast in general..at least the bits we walked from queen’s to city hall and environs. ) cheers!
Thank you so much Joanna for your wonderful comment, thats fantastic you have a Begonia Tiger propagated from leaves, yes the stem leaves grow up from the rhizome, its a beautiful Begonia indeed, So happy you love Belfast and thats fantastic your Son got his Masters at Queens, and Bittles bar and St Georges Market is FANTASTIC, thanks so much for watching and sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a super Sunday XXXX
Cool looking plant Lyn, the markings on the leaves almost look like they’d glow in the dark! Probably another one that Edith would like more than me haha, but very cool. Thank you for sharing with us Lyn, from Edith & I as always to you and Hans, have a fantastic new week ❤️😊🌵🌼🌸☀️🌺
haha so very true Daz :-D yes the markings are very glowing and the funny thing is the lime coloured spots on the leaves actually do glow a bit under the grow lights haha :-D its a cool plant indeed :-D thanks a million for your wonderful Friendship and for all your support and amazing comments Daz, and Hans and I are sending you and Edith an abundance of love and happiness and PLANT POWER from across the Emerald Isle for a BRILLIANT new week and New Year ahead XXXXX
I love love begonia plants I am trying to start a collection of them they are on my plants Wish List but I can Get one in any shops
XXXX :-D
Try Dibleys Nursery online for a great selection of begonias
I've had this begonia for over a year and it's not growing very big leaves:( The other thing is that most of the leaves get black around the edges:( I just sprayed it with fungicide. I hope I can bring it back and it looks like yours some day:) Thank you for sharing!
Hi Sarah
I rescued this exact plant. Need to propagate now. Do I just take off a younger leaf and lay it on the soil? Do I clip the veins?
Hi Sarah :-D thats fantastic you have rescued one of these beautiful begonia's, yes you can take off a leaf and lay it onto the soil, you can clip the veins but I get good success by cutting off a leaf and laying on top of the soil, I keep the very top of the soil just very slightly moist but not wet to encourage rooting, good luck with your propagation and thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching, and sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a wonderful Wednesday XXXX
I adore this plant, my first and only begonia, and one that everyone who sees it comments on. I got a mature one whose rhizomes are trailing down quite a bit (50 cm or so) and I didn't really know how to take care of it, so I'm not doing anything too extreme with it and it seems to hold up well. It is so easy to propagate so I also have a pot with lovely rooted leaves going, that accidentally fell off during watering or brushing past. I really want a second begonia now, one that I saw in your video of (I think) the botanical garden in Belfast: Begonia Listada, but so far no luck yet.. Thanks for the video, was waiting for this one : )
So happy you love this beautiful begonia too Natalie :-D its a beauty of a cutie
Begónias are lovely house plants, that particular one is gorgeous 😆
So happy you love Begonias too Fernanda :-D this one is a real cutie with its wonderful little leaves :-D thanks so much for your wonderful comments and support and for watching and sending you an abundance of love and happiness and PLANT POWER and HAPPY NEW YEAR to you XXXXX

Dear nice Lady Lyn!
Thank you so much for your wonderful Video and your
Information too!
I love this Begonias, but as I bought some (long time ago the name was Begonia Rex ), but doesn't matter you have shure shown us the correct Name and the blumming is wonderful in wite colour, and the Begonia Pickta with the "angel -wings "is sooooo wonderful and beautifull too!
I had became a Cactus from a friend and he looks like this :🎅🌵
On the Cacti is so much nice, but it is very hard to get the out the "Santa Claus ". ..
I hate it as you too, but I would try to make the lovely cacti normally.
Hoping I have Luck with the Cactus! !
Thanks for showing us your wonderful perfect Video, about the wonderful
Begonias tiger eye or a nother name! !

So happy you like my Prince tattoo :-D I have been a HUGE fan of Prince since a teenager haha :-D thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching and sending you an abundance of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a marvellous Monday XXXXX
Thanks you too, I hope to have as many plants as you in my house someday. Today I’ll get to meet kinda kinda childhood idols in the form of ash, I’m kind of excited!
@@eachfallenrobin WOW thats AMAZING you will be meeting the members of Ash, and they are from Downpatrick too :-D XXXX
Desert Plants of Avalon of course, yeah they were massive stars when I was growing up and inspirational as a teenager interested in music to see them doing so well.
I love Begonias but I always seem to kill them ... there’s so many different colour leaves, so many pretty ones also. Thanks Lyn for sharing this video. 💕
So happy you love Begonias too Cher :-D they are beauties, but so sorry that you don't have much luck with growing them, but you have the most amazing luck with your beautiful Desert rose's :-D thanks so much for your wonderful comments and for watching and sending you an abundance of love and happiness and PLANT POWER from across the Emerald Isle XXXXX
I was hoping you can give me some advice on my tiger paw begonia. I bought it online and it arrived very full but it just kept dropping leaves until the only thing left was the rhizome. I have covered it with a bag to keep it from drying out.
Hi Tiziana, so sorry to hear about your Tiger Paw Begonia, this time of year these Begonias have a little bit of a rest period, and I notice that most of my begonias will wilt and then drop a lot of their leaves at this time of year,and some of my begonias lose all their leaves and just the Rhizome is left, they do re shoot again from early to mid Winter onwards with new leaves from the Rhizomes, you have done the best thing to keep it covered loosely with a bag to keep the humidity up, but pierce some holes into the bag so ventilation can come through too, hopefully the Rhizomes on your new plant will re shoot again in a few weeks, it may be because of the shock of the move to your begonia and also the time of year, but fingers crossed it should re cover for you, Do keep me updated on how your Tiger Paw gets on, thanks so much for watching and have a wonderful Sunday XXXX
@@desertplantsofavalon thank you 😊

Thank you for making this video. I can't find many cultivar specific videos for Begonias.
thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching, This Begonia is a special one indeed, Sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a sunny Sunday XXXX
Begonia leprechaun... Does it like whiskey? Most leprechauns do, I know I watched Darby O'Gill and the little people... Hahahaha.
Beautiful plants as always Lyn!!!
hahahaha Todd :-D this made me giggle so much :-D thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching and sending you an abundance of love and happiness and PLANT POWER from across the Emerald Isle to Florida and a VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR to you XXXXX

HAPPY NEW YEAR to you too Miche :-D so happy you love the Begonia is a real cutie of a beauty haha :-D thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching and sending you an abundance of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a terrific Thursday XXXXX
The plants look great. Awesome video. Happy new year
So happy you love the plants K.Titus and a VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR to you too
Your Begonia is beautiful! I've just bought mine today, she's a tiny one but I hope she does it well.
I bet your begonia is a beauty :-D thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching, and sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER from across the Emerald Isle for a fantastic Tuesday XXXX
I love begonias but don't seen to have much luck with rex begonias - cane begonias thrive for me. I have a tiger paw but it seems droopy, only one leaf looks healthy.....hope it survives, it's in a room with high humidity in a south east room and one of my favourites 🤞🤞
Hi Julie :-D so happy you love Begonias too, the good news is that the Tigers paw Begonia like the one in this video have a habit of drooping their leaves and hanging them down at this time of year and is normal, and new fresh firmer stems and leaves normally start to emerge from the middle again and the plant picks up again, its due to them having a little bit of a rest during the Summer time, mine do this too every Summer but then pick up again from late Summer onwards, thanks so much for watching and have a wonderful Wednesday today XXXX
@@desertplantsofavalon thank you for replying xx

Such a beauty!
So happy you love this plant Greg :-D thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching and sending you an abundance of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a marvellous Monday XXXXX
Great video! What humidity percentage do you suggest for this plant?
So happy you loved the video Suzanne :-D Ideally these plants prefer a humidity of 70%, we have this beauty in our kitchen that is around 65-70 % humidity and it grows well, but when I had it in my grow room it used to go brown on the edges slightly in the Winter months due to the drier air from the heating, and our grow room is about 50% humidity w, but we keep our kitchen cooler as we overwinter the Euphorbias and Cereus Pilocereus in there haha :-D if the humidity is too high though it can encourage the stems to go moldy, but ideally between 65-75 % is best if possible, thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching and sending you an abundance of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a marvellous Monday XXXXX
Beautiful 👌👌👌

What's the diff with tiger paw and tiger kitten
I have four varieties of Begonia right now.
Begonia Flirty Girl is a cross between a cane stem begonia and a rex begonia, It has silver leaves with a dark green blotch in the center and lots of pink flowers that hang their heads like a shy girl. Like it's rex mother, it propagates easily from leaves. Like it's cane stem father, it propagates easily from stem cuttings.
Begonia Ionic is an orange flowered angel wing. It's kind of droopy, so I'm growing it as a hanging plant. It was said to be fragrant, but I can't smell it. It does put out a lot of big orange flowers for me to sweep up. It seems to need more humidity than I can give it, but it's hanging in there.
Begonia Tinkerbelle is a shrub type begonia. It has foliage that is corrugated like a tin roof or a ripple type peperomia. The tops of the leaves are dark forest green and the underside of the leaves are dark red. It blooms profusely, like a bedding type begonia, and the blooms are white in the center and pink on the edges. It roots easily from stem cuttings, so I have several plants scattered around my growing area.
Begonia Dregei v. partita would be of interest to you because it is a succulent. The base of the stem is swollen to form a caudex. above the caudex it has thin branching stems with tiny maple like leaves. In dry conditions, it tends to shed leaves, but the plant keeps on growing. Lots of little white flowers in summertime. It roots easily from stem cuttings, but it takes quite a while for the caudex to form.
Thats fantastic that you have four varieties of Begonia Emmit :-D they are beautiful plants to grow, and I LOVE the name of Begonia 'Flirty girl' haha :-D they all sound like absolute beauties :-D Begonia's truly are so stunning with their foliage :-D thanks so much for sharing what varieties that you have too
can anyone tell me how long the blooms last on this tiger paw begonia? my plant will put out a bud, bloom, and then after a day or two the flower will fall off :( is this normal?
Hi Adriana :-D yes this is normal, unfortunately the blooms often drop off very soon after a day or two on Begonias's which is a shame, their amazing foliage makes up for it though, thanks so much for watching and have a wonderful weekend ahead XXX
@@desertplantsofavalon oh okay, i was so worried! great video && thank you ❤️

How to buy
Hi there :-D this Begonia can be hard to find for sale but you could try online from a specialist online Begonia plant shop, I don't know of any myself though, but I hope you can find this plant, thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching, and sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a wonderful Wednesday XXXX
I wish I could get 1 for someone
