In what season does the crabapple flower bloom? Do they prefer more or less water?

1. Flowering Season

Begonias usually bloom in spring, around April or May, but the flowering time varies in different places. When exactly it blooms has a lot to do with the usual maintenance. For example, if the lighting conditions are better, the flowering time may be advanced. In addition, different varieties of crabapples have different flowering periods. For example, the weeping crabapple and the stalked crabapple will bloom in March and April.

2. Good maintenance methods for flowering

1. Sunlight: Begonia likes sunlight very much, so you need to provide it with a growing environment with sufficient light, but it needs shade in the summer.

2. Ventilation: The plant does not like a stuffy growing environment. When maintaining it, ventilation should be strengthened and it should not be too closed. If you raise it outdoors, you don't need to pay too much attention. If you raise it indoors, you need to open the windows more often.

3. Fertilization: You need to add some nutrients to it. Usually, you can apply fertilizer once every half a month in spring and autumn. Apply fertilizer frequently and in small amounts. Applying phosphorus and potassium fertilizers before it blooms will be more beneficial to its flowering.

3. Do you prefer more water or less water?

Begonia likes moisture, and the water in the soil should not be too much or too little, so it is important to water it during maintenance. When watering, you should water the soil when it is dry. If the soil is not dry, there is no need to water it a second time. If you do water, you should water it thoroughly. Generally, the amount of water required in spring and autumn is relatively large, so the flower soil can be kept moist. Watering should be less in winter and summer, and there should be no accumulation of water in the soil.
