Begonia Adonia Pink & Light Pink
Begonia Borias
Borias is a reasonably well-branched variety with a soft pink/white flower with a red center. The multiple colors give the Borias an exclusive appearance.

Begonia Belove Rose
The Begonia Belove Rose is an ideal statement plant and with its extra-large flowers of 7-8 cm in diameter, a perfect gift for mom this year. Characterized by its yellow center, the Begonia Belove Rose makes an excellent patio plant. This variety tolerates rain very well but be cautious with letting it get too much direct sunlight, as this will cause the leaves to burn. You can also bring this Begonia inside and enjoy it in your living room, as long as you make sure it gets enough indirect sunlight.
Begonia Betulia Candy & Betulia Bright Pink
The Begonia Betulia makes a strong outdoor plant and features lovely single flowers in an intense pink color. Where other Begonias might get mildew when you keep them outside in the rain, the Begonia Betulia is sure to keep its dark green leaves. The Begonia Betulia Candy and Betulia Bright Pink are constant bloomers, easy to care for, and make the perfect patio performers.
Begonia Florencio Pink
The Begonia Florencio Pink is the perfect outdoor plant to gift this Mother's Day. Although you can grow this begonia indoors, it performs best outside where it will continue to produce new flowers. When kept inside, there's a good chance the flowers eventually will start to drop. But on your patio, it's a vigorous grower that shows off all its stunning petals.
Begonia Plants for Mother's Day Care Tips
These Mother's Day begonias are all flowering types of begonia that wow you with their impressive blooms. Begonias prefer a bright spot in your home but out of direct sunlight. Just like any other houseplant, they need water but make sure not to overwater them as this will cause the roots to rot. The soil needs to dry out a little between each watering, so when in doubt about whether to water again, just wait a few more days.
They prefer humid locations if given the choice and will often struggle in very dry arid places in your home so keep them away from fireplaces and radiators. The normal usual home temperatures are fine for all begonias and they aren't overly fussy about occasional highs or lows in temperature. Although you must avoid any prolonged exposure to temperatures that are approaching freezing. Keep these tips in mind when taking care of your begonias and they're all set to grow, look beautiful, and flower happily.
