Begonia Manaus Exotic Beauty from the Tropics Rhizomatous Begonia Cuttings & Rooted Starters

Node Stem Cutting or Small Rooted Starter Plant 

Each plant cutting you receive will include one node and one leaf maybe more. All cuttings are freshly cut with a stem and node to help with propagation. The node is the point where the leaf attaches to the stem, and it will often look like a small "bump" on plants like pothos, monstera, or philodendron. Keep in mind, aerial roots may or may not be present at the time of clipping so you might not notice the node but each cutting will have at least one node and one leaf ready for water or soil propagation!

Begonia ‘Manaus’ 🌱✨

Begonia Manaus is a stunning cane begonia known for its elongated angel-wing leaves, dramatic silver spotting, and soft shades of deep green to bronze. The underside often shows a lovely reddish tint, giving the plant a bold, tropical look. When happy, it produces delicate clusters of pink or soft coral blooms that stand out beautifully against its patterned foliage.

This begonia grows upright with a bushy, elegant shape and makes a perfect statement plant for shelves, windowsills, or indoor plant displays. It’s eye-catching, fast-growing, and surprisingly easy when its basic needs are met.

🌿 Care Information

☀️ Light

Bright, indirect light is ideal. Avoid harsh, direct sun which can scorch the leaves, but too little light can reduce spotting and flowering.

💧 Watering

Keep soil slightly moist, but never soggy. Allow the top inch of soil to dry before watering again. Begonias dislike sitting in water and can develop root rot if overwatered.

🌡️ Temperature

Prefers 65–80°F. Protect from cold drafts—Begonias are sensitive to temperature drops.

💦 Humidity

Enjoys 50–70% humidity. If your air is dry, use a humidifier or keep near other plants. Avoid misting directly onto leaves to prevent spotting or mildew.

🌱 Soil

Use a well-draining mix: peat or coco coir + perlite + a bit of bark. Light, airy soil keeps the roots happy.

🍽️ Feeding

Fertilize every 2–4 weeks during spring and summer with a balanced, diluted houseplant fertilizer.

✂️ Pruning

Trim leggy stems to keep a full, bushy shape. Pruning encourages branching and more leaves.

🪴 Growth Habit

Cane-type begonia with upright stems. Grows tall and elegant with beautiful patterned leaves.

🌱 Shipping & Plant Health:
While it's uncommon, cuttings can occasionally be affected during shipping. If you notice any issues with your order, please contact me within 48 hours of delivery so I can offer a refund, replacement, or coupon—whichever works best for you!

It's normal for cuttings to show some signs of stress from transit, such as wilting, yellowing, or slight browning. This doesn’t necessarily mean the cutting isn’t viable—the node is the most important part, and it’s often still healthy and ready to grow.
