There are five varieties of Begonia: single winged Begonia, Chinese Begonia, prickly hair, Chinese Begonia, soft hair, Chinese Begonia, whole column Begonia.
Begonia is suitable for growing in 19-24 ℃ temperature environment, and the lowest temperature in winter should be kept above 10 ℃. If it is lower than 10 ℃, the leaves are vulnerable to cold, but its roots are relatively cold resistant. Therefore, breeding Begonia must give it a warm enough environment, it can only grow healthily and rapidly in the warm environment, grow beautiful flowers, fresh and green branches and leaves
Begonia is very sensitive to light, strong direct light is easy to burn leaves, it likes to grow in a half shade environment. If it is suitable to irradiate in the season with high temperature, and in the winter with low temperature, it is necessary to ensure sufficient illumination.
Begonia like to live in a humid environment, so we should pay attention to timely watering. When watering, pay attention to keep high air humidity. If you want to keep high air humidity, you can often spray water mist on the leaf and around the flowerpot. We should also pay attention that the soil in the basin should not be too wet when watering. If the basin soil is too wet, it will lead to rotten roots and even the whole plant of Begonia will die.
The soil is loose, the drainage effect is good, rich in humic acid sandy soil. It is recommended to use compost soil, rotten leaf soil and carbon soil.
In order to ensure the healthy and rapid growth of Begonia, it is necessary to water and fertilize more. After half a month of planting, it is allowed to apply the rotten cake fertilizer water once, and then apply the light fertilizer water once every 20-30 days in the growth period. After the first flowering, it is necessary to increase the application of phosphorus fertilizer and potassium fertilizer and reduce the application of nitrogen fertilizer.
Begonia is easy to be attacked by aphid, pink shell and red spider, and easy to suffer from powdery mildew and bacterial blight. In order to prevent the infection and spread of diseases and insect pests, we usually adopt the method to improve the ventilation conditions and avoid close planting during cultivation. If it is found that Begonia is attacked by diseases and insect pests, the infected plants and leaves should be removed immediately. In case of diseases, various fungicides can be used to inhibit the spread of diseases and insect pests.
