How to grow papaya begonia

1. Alkaline loam

The loam suitable for it needs to be loose, neutral to alkaline, with a pH value greater than or equal to 7. There does not need to be too many nutrients in it, which can easily cause the plant to grow too tall and affect its appearance. The soil layer does not need to be too deep, just enough to stretch the roots.

2. Adequate lighting

Growth is inseparable from sunlight. Only with sufficient light can the plants have lush branches and leaves and large and colorful flowers. It is prone to poor development in a shady environment, which has a certain impact on it. If it is grown as a potted plant, it can be moved to a location with relatively good light and exposed to more light in the autumn and winter.

3. Watering and fertilization

The application of water is generally carried out in conjunction with the application of fertilizers. Organic fertilizer is applied once in the spring before the branches and buds begin to sprout, combined with thorough watering. Apply nutrients once in autumn after the leaves fall to replenish the nutrients consumed. It should also be applied once after the flowers have faded to alleviate the loss of nutrients.

4. The temperature should not be too high

It is cold-resistant and can be placed outside in a sheltered place in winter, or indoors at a temperature above 0 degrees. However, the temperature cannot be too high, otherwise it will have an adverse effect on it.
