Begonia mainly includes single winged Begonia, Chinese Begonia, prickly Chinese Begonia, fluffy Chinese Begonia, full column Begonia, liger Begonia, four seasons Begonia, viewing leaf Begonia, bulbous Begonia, etc.
Not only the ornamental leaves, Begonia flowers are very beautiful! Moreover, the flowering period of Begonia is very long, and the time of different varieties is not the same, generally concentrated in April to November.
The maintenance method of Begonia is also relatively simple, and flowers are from the following aspects.
1. Soil: the soil of Begonia must be fertile and loose, preferably slightly acidic. Alkaline soil makes Begonia grow badly. It can be mixed with sapropel, garden soil and river sand in the proportion of 5:3:3.
2. Watering: Begonia likes warm and humid environment. Keep the soil moist. According to the degree of dry and wet soil, when the basin soil is white or the basin is light, you can water it. Try to choose the way of soaking basin.
3. Sunshade: Begonia likes a semi overcast environment, so avoid direct sunlight. At noon in summer, shade should be properly carried out. At the beginning of noon, it can be moved indoors, or the indoor maintenance can be moved to the East and West balconies.
4. Temperature: the most suitable temperature for the growth of Begonia is 19-26 ℃, so it should be put into the room for maintenance in winter to avoid frostbite.
5. Fertilization: in the growth period, Begonia can use the fertilizer cake water which is rotten once every 15-20 days, and appropriately increase the application of phosphorus and potassium fertilizer or huaduo2 before flowering.
Cutting:
Cutting should be carried out in spring and autumn. Select robust branches and trim them to about 10cm. Keep the top blade and cut off both sides. Insert it into the soil and keep it in a cool place. It will take about 15-20 days to take root.
Propagation of Begonia bulbous:
Select the strong growing mother plant, dig out the tuber, cut it into several pieces with a sterilized knife, then sterilize the wound with plant ash, and finally plant the cut root into the soil, and new buds can grow in about 20 days.
Begonia cutting propagation:
Cuttage Propagation can be carried out in all seasons of the year, but it is better to do so in spring and autumn. Select the top shoots with strong growth at the base, about 5-8cm. Remove most of the leaves, insert them into the clean sandy soil, water the soil to keep it moist, and then move to the hidden place for about 15-20 days to take root, and take root for about 3-5cm to maintain in the basin.
1. Begonia is easy to recruit aphids. If there are not many aphids, they can be eliminated manually. But if the number is large, we will use some "means". It can be used in the proportion of 1:15 To prepare tobacco leaf water, which can be used after 5 hours of brewing. It can kill aphids effectively.
2. Powdery mildew can not be ignored. It can infect stems, leaves and flowers, and seriously damage the whole plant. After finding that Begonia got powdery mildew, first remove the diseased leaves, cut off the diseased branches, put them in a ventilated and transparent place for maintenance, and then spray some multi fungus medicine for treatment.
