Grow in well-drained, humusy soil in bright light but not too much direct sunlight. Water regularly when actively growing but reduce watering in winter or when plant growth is slow. Can tolerate short periods of drought. Wet soil, especially cold wet soil, can lead to root and stem rots. Many cane-like begonias are suitable as indoor plants, others do well as summer bedding plants.

Noteworthy Characteristics

Begonia is a genus of about 1,300 species of annuals, perennials, shrubs and climbers. Most have fleshy stems. Some produce underground tubers or rhizomes. They are grown for their showy flowers, leaves, or both. Begonias can be divided into 7 informal groups by growth habit: Cane-like, rex-cultorum, rhizomatous, semperflorens, tuberous, trailing or scandent, thick-stemmed and shrub-like.

Cane-like begonias are evergreen, perennial plants primarily from Brazil. They are generally upright growing with bamboo-like stems and are grown for their interesting form as well as attractive leaves and flowers. They have semi-woody stems and fibrous roots.

Genus name honors Michael Begon (1638-1710), Governor of French Canada.

'Sinbad' is a hybrid cane-like begonia selection that features colorful foliage and pink flowers. This cultivar is the result of a cross between Begonia dipetala (a thick-stem species) and 'U062' (a shrubby, cane-type hybrid). The leaves emerge having slightly pink and bronze tones before maturing to silvery-green. Loose, pendant, axillary clusters of small, pink flowers bloom seasonally. Mature plants will reach up to 3' tall with a similar spread.
