How often should I water the Begonia?

Begonia is not a particularly water-loving plant, but it cannot lack water. When watering, you should follow the principle of "water thoroughly when the soil is dry", and avoid watering it half-wet and half-dry. In addition to watering with tap water, you can also water it with rice water, which can help the begonia grow big and beautiful, and at low cost.

1. Watering in spring

The peak growing season for Begonia is between April and June in spring. At this time, the plant requires a large amount of water and needs to be watered about once every 2-3 days.

2. Watering in summer

Begonia is very afraid of high temperatures, and water evaporates quickly in summer. It is recommended to water the plant once in the morning and evening to replenish water.

3. Watering in autumn

As the weather turns cooler in autumn, you can increase the amount of watering for the Begonia appropriately. You can water it about once every 2-3 days, which is similar to spring.

4. Watering in winter

The temperature is low in winter and the growth of Begonia is slow. Basically, it does not need to be watered frequently. Generally, watering it once a month or so is enough.

Precautions for watering Begonia

1. Begonias are basically watered in the morning, and the best time is around 9 o'clock, as watering at this time is beneficial to the plant's photosynthesis.

2. When watering the Begonia, be sure not to let water splash onto the flowers and leaves of the plant, otherwise they will easily rot.
