Begonia ‘Don Miller’ is a shrub-type begonia — a hybrid that grows as a bushy, branching plant rather than only a tall cane or strictly angel-wing type. It was bred from a cross between the cane hybrid Begonia ‘Torch’ and an unidentified shrub species known as Begonia U062.

Features:

  • Shrub-type: branches readily to form a full, bushy plant that can become a striking specimen in containers or shaded gardens.

  • Leaves: bright green leaves with striking silvery markings or dense silver flecking that give the plant a frosted look. The foliage often has a glossy, smooth surface and may appear somewhat wavy or textured.

  • Flowers: Produces medium-sized clusters of pink flowers during the growing season (spring through fall). In brighter or direct sunlight, the flowers can take on a rosy-red hue.

Care Tips:

  • Light

    • Provide medium to bright, indirect light.

    • Avoid strong direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.

    • In lower light, growth may slow and foliage markings may be less vivid.

  • Watering

    • Water when the top 2 inches (about 5 cm) of soil feel dry.

    • Keep the soil evenly moist but never waterlogged.

    • Always empty excess water from the saucer to prevent root rot.

  • Soil

    • Use a well-draining potting mix.

    • Adding perlite or similar material helps improve drainage and aeration.

  • Temperature

    • Prefers warm conditions around 65–75°F (18–24°C).

    • Protect from cold drafts and sudden temperature changes.

  • Humidity

    • Enjoys moderate to high humidity (around 50–60%).

    • Low humidity may cause brown or crispy leaf edges.

  • Fertilization

    • Feed monthly during spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertilizer.

    • Reduce or stop feeding in fall and winter when growth slows.

  • Pruning & Growth

    • Prune leggy stems to encourage a fuller, bushier shape.

    • Easily propagated from stem cuttings during the growing season.

  • Common Issues

    • Overwatering may cause yellowing leaves or root rot.

    • Wet foliage and poor air circulation can lead to fungal problems.
