How to care for the newly bought Begonia

1. Inspection

Due to transportation and handling, the newly purchased crabapple plants may be damaged, so you should check the growth status of the plants after you bring them home, paying special attention to the roots to see if they are dry or rotten. If there are any problems, deal with them in time to avoid affecting growth.

2. Repotting

Don’t change the pot right after you buy it. Let it adapt to the new environment in the original potting soil. Changing the pot suddenly can easily damage the plant. After the plant has grown normally, the pot should be changed every spring, and the rotten roots and excess dead branches and leaves of the plant should be cut off.

3. Watering

After buying it home, don't water it too much, just keep the soil moist. Because its root system is very fragile now, it can be easily damaged by excessive watering. In addition, you can spray some water on the plant body or leaves to maintain the humidity of the environment.

4. Lighting

You can let the newly bought crabapple receive some sunlight appropriately, which can help the crabapple adapt to the new environment better. However, the light intensity should not be too strong, and direct sunlight should be avoided to avoid damaging the plants. If necessary, the plants can be transferred to a shaded and ventilated place for cultivation.
