Cultivation methods and precautions of Rieger Begonia

1. Soil

The specific requirements for it are looseness, fertility and easy drainage of water. It is best not to use garden soil. You can go to the wild to collect some soil covered with dead grass and mix it with some other substrates as culture soil. You can also use peat soil, vermiculite and perlite to mix and prepare its culture soil.

2. Watering

It likes moisture, but not too wet. Therefore, the best state of the soil is that it is neither completely dry nor waterlogged. The time when water is most needed is summer, when watering is needed once in the morning and once in the evening. The water temperature should be similar to the room temperature.

3. Lighting

It likes semi-shade and can be placed in a location where the light is not very strong. However, you can give it as much light as possible in winter without shading.

4. Temperature

The most suitable range is between 18 and 22 degrees. In winter, you should keep warm and the temperature should not be lower than 15 degrees. Of course, if the temperature in summer continues to be higher than 28 degrees, it is also necessary to cool down.

5. Fertilization

During the growth period, if needed, about once every two weeks will be enough. When it is still a seedling, mainly use nitrogen fertilizer, and more phosphorus fertilizer and potassium fertilizer can be used during the flowering period.

6. Notes

Because the plant is afraid of waterlogging, in addition to preventing waterlogging, it is also necessary to avoid heavy rain. In addition, when watering, do not get too much water on the leaves.
