In order to decorate the living room, many flower friends like to raise green ivy,吊兰 (Spider Plant) and other green plants at home. These green plants have very beautiful green leaves in summer, but once winter comes and the weather gets cool, they often don't look so spirited, because green plants usually fear the cold.

Key points for raising Four Season Begonia 1. Adjusting lighting: Four Season Begonia is sensitive to light. In winter, it can be exposed to full sunlight, and in early spring when the light is not strong, it can also be exposed to full sunlight. As the light intensity increases, the lighting time should be gradually reduced, properly shaded, and in summer, shading and cooling are required to prevent sun exposure.
2. Water control: Four Season Begonia has a succulent stem and stores a lot of water. In spring and autumn, which are the vigorous growth periods of Four Season Begonia, the watering amount should be appropriately increased to keep the soil slightly dry and wet, ensuring sufficient water to support the rapid growth of Four Season Begonia.
In summer, Four Season Begonia enters a semi-dormant period. At this time, the temperature is high, and the water evaporates quickly, but the begonia itself consumes less water, so watering should be controlled and not excessive.
If too much water is poured in summer, Four Season Begonia is very prone to root rot, so watering must be controlled, ensuring thorough watering and proper shading and cooling.
In winter, Four Season Begonia grows slowly and requires less water. Combined with the lower temperature, it is better to keep the potting soil of Four Season Begonia slightly dry, which is more conducive to its safe overwintering.
