Begonia is also known as Chinese quince and is a famous ornamental tree species in China. The flower language of begonia represents elegance, charm, and longing. Xifu begonia, weeping begonia,贴梗 begonia, and Chinese quince begonia are known as the "four grades of begonia." Begonias are mainly distributed in Shandong, Shaanxi, Hubei, Jiangxi, Anhui, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Guangdong, and Guangxi, and are widely loved by flower enthusiasts.
Begonia planting methods and precautions:
1. Soil selection is the first step in planting, and it is also the most important step. Begonias prefer fertile, loose, humus-rich river sand soil.
2. Begonias love sunlight and do not tolerate shade. They require sufficient daily sunlight and should be placed in a sunny location for maintenance. During the intense summer sun, they should be placed in a place with diffused light to avoid direct sunlight, which can burn the flowers.
3. Begonias thrive in a moist environment, with the air humidity reaching over 80% to benefit their growth.
4. When watering begonias, it is sufficient to water moderately. When the potting soil gradually dries out, water the begonia, ensuring moderate watering without causing waterlogging. Water once every 5 days. In the summer, water evaporation is fast, so the watering amount can be slightly increased. In winter, water should be controlled.
5. After begonias shed their leaves in autumn, fertilizer can be applied to supplement nutrients for the plant. In spring, when the plant begins to sprout, an organic fertilizer can be applied to promote growth.
6. When caring for begonias indoors, they should be placed in a well-ventilated area. Repot every 2-3 years to promote begonia growth.
7. Prune the begonia's branches and leaves in a timely manner, removing diseased, withered, and old branches to prevent them from absorbing the nutrients of the plant. Remove overcrowded branches to ensure a good ventilation and lighting environment for the begonia.
8. Observe the begonia's condition in a timely manner to prevent interference from diseases and pests. When diseases and pests are detected, apply scientific medication promptly.
