The Begoniaceae family, commonly known as the begonia family, consists of flowering plants primarily found in tropical and subtropical regions. This family includes about 1,800 species, characterized by their unique leaf shapes and vibrant flowers. Begonias are often grown as ornamental plants due to their attractive foliage and diverse colors. Begonias can be classified into two main groups: tuberous and fibrous-rooted. Tuberous begonias produce large, showy flowers and are often grown in gardens, while fibrous-rooted begonias are typically smaller and used in indoor settings. The family is also notable for its ability to thrive in various light conditions, making them popular among gardeners and houseplant enthusiasts.
