Don’t spray water on Begonia, as its leaves will rot!

There are many fine hairs on the leaves of Begonia. If you spray water on the leaves, the water droplets will remain on the leaves and will not be able to slide down and evaporate. Instead, they will be absorbed by the hairs, which will cause the leaves to rot over time.

How to water correctly?

In spring, you can water the plant about once every 3-5 days. When watering, water slowly along the edge of the pot, and do not start from the top. You can spray water into the surrounding air to ensure sufficient humidity. It will enter a dormant period in summer and winter, so wait until the soil is dry and cracked before watering.
