How to deal with Rieger Begonia after it blooms

1. Prune the remaining flowers

After the Begonia has finished blooming, in order to reduce nutrient consumption, it needs to be pruned as soon as possible after flowering. When doing this, cut it off from the second node at the bottom of the remaining flower. This will not only preserve more nutrients, but also be more conducive to the growth of side branches. However, if the entire branch is filled with dead flowers, the entire branch should be cut off.

2. Replace the flower soil

If you change the soil at this time, it is possible for it to bloom again. When the weather is clear, remove most of the soil, prepare new flower pots and soil. If conditions permit, it is best to add some base fertilizer to the soil, and then replant the plants.

3. Prune dead branches

When replacing new soil for the plant, the old, weak and diseased branches on the plant should be cut off. This will not only promote the growth of new branches, but also reduce the loss and consumption of nutrients. After pruning, flower lovers are required to carry out sterilization and disinfection.

4. Pay attention to water control

After completing the above work, you should also pay attention to watering and strictly control the amount of water. If you water it too much, it will start to lose its leaves. In addition, the plant should be moved to a cooler place.
