If you prepare it yourself, you can mix it according to the ratio of carrious soil and peat soil and coarse sand (3:2:1). Light and temperature Magic leaf begonia likes to scatter light and avoid direct sunlight. When high temperatures in summer, it is necessary to shade properly to prevent sunburn on the leaves. In winter, the lighting time can be appropriately increased. The appropriate growth temperature is 15-25℃, which should not be lower than 10℃ or higher than 30℃.
