1. Substrate selection: Begonia is suitable for growing in loose and well drained soil, and can be planted in acid soil.
2. Temperature management: it is suitable for growing in a warm environment, and the best growth temperature is 19 ℃ - 23 ℃. The temperature of 0 ℃ to 2 ℃ can still survive, lower than 2 ℃ is not conducive to growth. High temperature resistance, temperature higher than 29 ℃ can also grow, but growth will be slower.
3. Water management: it is afraid of drought. It will grow better in wet soil. It needs a lot of water during growth. In summer, if the weather is hot, the amount of watering can be increased appropriately, but there should be no ponding, otherwise it is easy to rot. Plants grow slowly in winter, with little or no water.
4. Light management: Begonia is fond of sunshine, but it can't receive direct sunlight, so it will grow better in the place where the light is scattered. Too much direct light can cause leaves to turn yellow, but too much shade can cause plants not to bloom. Outdoor planting should choose the astigmatism, sunshade in summer.
1. Cutting: in June of each year, select healthy and strong branches of about 15 cm from the plant. Each branch has at least 2 buds and 3 leaves (large leaves can be cut properly), which can be planted after three to four days in the shade.
2. Plant division: it can be carried out in spring, starting from the rhizome of the mother plant, and can be planted only after being divided into several pieces.
1. No flowering: if the fertilization concentration is high or the fertilization frequency is too frequent, or the light is too little, it is easy to cause the plant to grow only slender branches without flowering. Proper fertilization should be done to remove obstacles or prune branches and increase light.
2. Leaves falling: the surrounding temperature should be avoided to be too low, and the heat preservation measures should be strengthened in winter. When the light is too strong, shade the sun. When the light is too little, trim the redundant branches to increase the light transmittance.
1. Flowering: the flowers of Begonia are mostly light red or white, which will bloom in summer every year, and the flowering period can be extended to autumn.
2. Whether it can be exposed: it can be exposed. Begonia is vigorous, the Yellow branches in winter can also draw out new buds in the spring of the next year, and the suitable outdoor sunshine can also help its growth.
