How to grow Begonia, pictures of Begonia

1. Adequate sunlight

It is relatively light-loving, so when caring for it, it should be placed in a bright, sufficient place with more sun so that it can grow more vigorously and accumulate enough nutrients to bloom successfully. However, pay attention to the high temperature environment in summer and the excessive light, so block it in time to avoid sunburn.

2. Suitable temperature

It likes warmth and cannot tolerate high or low temperatures. Therefore, temperature control is required during management. Once the temperature exceeds 28 degrees in summer, water should be sprinkled to cool down, but be careful not to allow water to accumulate in the soil. When the temperature is below 10 degrees in winter, it is necessary to heat it or move it directly indoors.

3. Fertilize regularly

Its flowering period is relatively long, it consumes a lot of nutrients, and has a high demand for fertilizer, so it needs to be fertilized frequently. Generally, fertilizer should be added every 12 days during the growing season, and thin fertilizer should be applied frequently. Fertilizer can be decomposed organic fertilizer, and phosphorus and potassium fertilizers should be added during the flower bud differentiation stage, so that the flowers will be larger and the colors will be brighter.

4. Timely pruning

If you want it to grow more vigorously and bloom better and more, pruning is also very important. It is necessary to pinch the top of the plant in time during its early stage to promote more branches and a fuller plant shape. During the growing season, you should cut off excess branches to save nutrients. In addition, diseased and rotten branches should be pruned.
