Begonia growth environment conditions and characteristics

Begonia Growth Environmental Conditions and Requirements

Begonia is a relatively common ornamental flower and tree, widely distributed in tropical and subtropical regions. It mostly grows in plain mountainous areas at an altitude of 50-2000 meters. It likes a cool, humid, semi-shady climate and is very sensitive to environmental changes.

Begonia growth temperature

The most suitable growth temperature for crabapple is 15-22℃. Too high or too low temperature will affect the growth of the plant. When the temperature is higher than 24℃, the plant will grow too tall, and when the temperature is lower than 5℃, the plant will stop growing.

Begonia growth humidity

Begonia does not have high requirements for air humidity. The plant is not tolerant to waterlogging. The plant is prone to diseases and pests when grown in a high temperature and high humidity environment. It can also grow well in the dry areas in the north.

Begonia growing soil

Begonia likes soil that is rich in humus and well-drained. The soil can be prepared with garden soil, humus, river sand, and sawdust. The plant can grow well in such soil.

Begonia growth cycle and process

Spring and autumn are the peak growth periods for crabapples. The seeds need to be germinated at low temperatures for 30-100 days before sowing. After the seedlings are planted, the soil must be kept loose and fertile. It takes about 5-6 years from planting to flowering.
