Thick-Stemmed Begonias are a unique group of begonias known for their thick, upright stems that often become woody over time. These plants are prized for their architectural structure, making them a striking addition to any indoor or outdoor garden. They are unusual and are grown mainly by the collector. They have been much used to produce interesting and beautiful hybrids.

Allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings. Avoid overwatering, as thick stems can be prone to rot.

They thrive in moderate to high humidity but can adapt to average indoor conditions.

Thick-Stem Hybrid Begonia 'Gryphon' features striking silver-green marbled foliage with deep burgundy undersides and produces rare, bright green flowers that add an unexpected pop of color.
