1. How to grow Begonia in winter

1. Environmental conditions: Begonia is a tropical flower that prefers a relatively warm environment and is not very cold-resistant. So when caring for it in winter, pay attention to keeping it warm. When the temperature is below 5℃, move it to a warm room for maintenance. In addition, because it is a sun-loving plant, you should also pay attention to keeping it in sunlight during maintenance and let it receive more light. This can help it synthesize nutrients and at the same time help increase the temperature around it, making it easier for it to survive the winter.

2. Water and fertilizer management: In winter, its growth rate will be greatly reduced. At this point, the amount of water and nutrients it requires will be greatly reduced. Therefore, the frequency of watering and fertilizing needs to be reduced during maintenance. You can wait until the soil is dry before watering. Water from the roots and don't let the water drip onto its leaves. Fertilization can be stopped directly. Wait until the temperature rises next year before resuming fertilization.

2. Can Begonia be propagated by cuttings in winter?

Begonia can be propagated by cuttings in winter, but it is not recommended to do so in winter. It is more recommended to do so in spring and autumn. Because spring and autumn are relatively warm and the climate is more suitable, cuttings are easier to take root. If you must take cuttings in winter, you need to do it in a greenhouse. After cutting, place it in a room with a temperature between 15-20℃ and keep it warm. That way it can take root.
