Cultivation method of weeping begonia

Pot soil selection

When potting weeping crabapples, you can choose a culture soil that is mixed in the ratio of 4 parts garden soil, 1 part river sand, 4 parts leaf mold, and 1 part organic fertilizer. You can choose a more rustic flowerpot to create a beautiful weeping crabapple bonsai.

Light and temperature

Weeping crabapple grows best in a sunny and warm environment. The suitable temperature for growth is between 15℃~28℃. It can tolerate temperatures as low as -5℃ in winter, so you don’t need to put the weeping begonia indoors to keep it warm, but instead bury the flowerpot in the soil. When the temperature is high and the sun is strong in summer, you need to provide proper shade and you can also cool down by spraying water.

Water and fertilizer management

Weeping begonia needs sufficient water during the growing season, but water should not accumulate in the pot. You can water more often in spring and summer. In summer, you can water once every morning and evening when the temperature is high. During rainy seasons, be careful not to allow water to accumulate in the pot, drain the water in time to prevent root rot, and reduce watering in autumn. During the growing season, weeping crabapple should be fertilized with thin fertilizer water once a month. Before flowering, apply some phosphorus fertilizer to promote flowering. Stop fertilizing after the leaves fall in autumn.
