No, begonias are not succulents. They are a diverse group of flowering plants belonging to the family Begoniaceae, known for their ornamental leaves and flowers. Unlike succulents, which store water in their leaves or stems, begonias prefer a more humid environment and require regular watering to thrive.

Begonias are planted in Mendel's garden because they are often used in genetics studies as a model plant, similar to the peas Mendel originally used. Begonias are easier to grow and analyze in a shorter time frame compared to peas, making them more suitable for modern genetics research.
Plants with deep roots, reduced leaves, and photosynthetic stems are typically known as succulents. Succulents have adapted to arid environments by storing water in their stems, which allows them to survive in dry conditions. Examples of succulents include cacti and agave plants.
Succulents adapt to arid environments by storing water in their fleshy leaves or stems, allowing them to survive long periods of drought. Their thick, waxy coating helps reduce water loss through evaporation and protects them from intense sunlight. Some succulents have specialized root systems that are shallow and spread out widely to quickly absorb water when it is available.
Begonias prefer consistently moist soil, but not overly wet. Water them when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch and make sure to provide good drainage to prevent root rot. Adjust watering based on the specific needs of your begonia variety and growing conditions.
The three most popular varieties of begonias for gardening are tuberous begonias, Rex begonias, and fibrous rooted begonias. Fibrous rooted begonias are also called the old fashioned wax.
Scarlet Begonias was created in 1974.
