How to grow Begonia in autumn

Growth habit

Begonia is a flower that is afraid of low temperature and frost damage, loves light and warmth, and is relatively tolerant to shade. It generally requires a slightly moist or relatively moist soil environment, but it cannot have too much water to cause flooding. Based on the above growth habits of Begonia, we can understand how to care for it in autumn.

Autumn maintenance

Watering

Speaking of watering, autumn is the season when Begonia grows vigorously. It is very thirsty for water, having just emerged from its dormant period due to the high temperature in summer. Autumn is also its flowering season, so you need to water it more frequently at this time to keep the soil in the pot moist. Carefully observe whether the soil surface is dry to ensure timely water supply. Water it when it is dry and water it thoroughly. Pay attention to the watering time this time. In autumn, it is generally done in the morning and evening of the day.

Fertilization

Speaking of fertilizing, begonias should be fertilized frequently in autumn. Fertilizer and water should be irrigated every ten days or half a month. Generally, bean cake water or chicken and bird droppings water are used, and human urine is also acceptable. Another point to note is that you must not use high-concentration fertilizers and fertilizers that have not been fermented, otherwise it will have a negative impact on the plants. After fertilizing, remember to use a spray bottle to clean the fertilizer that accidentally splashed on the leaves. The substances contained in it can cause burns to the branches and leaves.
