There are many types of begonias all flowering plants in the family Begoniaceae. They are found from Arunachal Pradesh to southeast China, and has been introduced to Bangladesh, Cuba, and Hispaniola. There are over 500 cultivars in the Begonia Group of houseplants.

These plants are grown almost exclusively for their foliage—their blooms tend to be small and less showy and many growers pinch off blooms to maintain breathtaking leaf displays. If planting outdoors, do so in May after frosts, but plant anytime indoors. With a moderate growth rate, begonias may grow to less than 12 inches in a year.

Begonias like bright, indirect light year-round. Because they are not aggressive bloomers, they can tolerate less light than other garden bed begonias and will thrive under fluorescent lights.

Let the soil surface become dry to the touch before watering. But don’t let the soil become overly dry or the plant will begin to wither. The soil should be watered to feel slightly, but evenly moist.

Scindapsus pictus, or silver vine, is a species of flowering plant in the arum family Araceae, native to India, Bangladesh, Thailand, Peninsular Malaysia, Borneo, Java, Sumatra, Sulawesi, and the Philippines. Growing to 3 m tall in open ground, it is an evergreen climber.

This is one of the more straightforward indoor plants you can own in terms of care needs. In five years of owning mine, they’ve never been attacked by any insect pest and maintenance has just consisted of removing the occasional yellow leaf

Truly a versatile plant when it comes to light levels. They can deal with direct sunlight in a South facing window if given some protection and adjustment time (don’t suddenly move it from a dark location to one with full, intense Summer sun).

They’re not overly thirsty and can deal with some drought if it happens. They’ll be happiest if you let around half or two thirds of the soil fully dry out before you water them again.

This gorgeous silver plant comes in a nice ceramic pot to compliment.  Perfect pairing.
