Begonia Don Miller is a shrub type begonia is a cross between the cane hybrid ‘Torch’ and the unidentified shrub species U062. This beautiful hybrid is easy to grow and branches readily to make a very full specimen. It thrives in the heat and has medium sized clusters of pink flowers in the spring, summer and fall. The flowers are usually pink but when it gets direct sun they can be rosy red. ‘Don Miller’ is sometimes erroneously labeled and sold as B. “Frosty”.

Plant Care: Begonia Don Miller prefer bright light, ideally receiving at least 6 hours of sunlight a day. It is best to provide shade from the sun during the hottest part of the day. Note that this plant can tolerate medium light but leaves it will be less colorful and show less variegation.. For a this plant, you need well-draining soil. This type of soil ensures excess water drains through the plant pot.This prevents all that extra water from building up in the soil. When there’s too much water in your plant’s soil, it blocks the oxygen from getting through to the roots.The lack of oxygen to a plant’s roots can cause root rot. Root rot is just as the name sounds. It’s when the roots of a plant start to rot away.

General advise about Indoor plants: Indoor plants require a indirect or filtered sun light (NOT the direct sun) . Each indoor plants have a different requirement of sunlight. So please google or read about the plants light requirement. Plants growth and survivability also depends on the climate and seasons. In simple words right amount of sun light, water, manure , pest control . There is no set standard for watering. Each plant has varying requirement of water . Check if the plants stores water in their leaves or in rhizomes (bulb like structure in the roots). Check when the soil is dry then put the water. Over watering kills the plant due to root rot. Best suggestion is to shift the plants outside (in shade) once in awhile till they recover.
