How to Care for Potted Begonia
Let me share some related experience on how to care for potted begonias and the key points of begonia cultivation. What follows is a comprehensive introduction.
Begonias, as tree plants, come in many varieties, with lovely and charming flowers. They have been loved by people throughout the ages, and many people grow a potted begonia at home. However, the cultivation of potted begonias also requires skill, and only by mastering the correct method can you grow a beautiful begonia. Next, we will introduce the cultivation methods of potted begonias from aspects such as watering methods, lighting conditions, and reasonable fertilization.
I. Watering Method
Begonias thrive in a moist environment and therefore require a certain amount of water supply, but excessive water can lead to积水, affecting the growth of the potted plant. Generally speaking, water every four to five days during spring and autumn; water once a day during the hot summer; and reduce watering frequency in winter when temperatures are low.
II. Lighting Conditions
Begonias are sun-loving plants and need ample sunlight to synthesize nutrients required for plant growth. During spring and autumn, they should be placed in a sunny location, receiving more than 8 hours of sunlight; during the hot summer, move the potted plant to a shaded environment to prevent direct sunlight and avoid leaf burn.
III. Reasonable Fertilization
Spring is the blooming season for begonias, and fertilization is essential. You can apply some organic fertilizers. When begonias start to shed leaves in autumn, they also need fertilizers to replenish lost nutrients. Be careful to control the amount of fertilizer, avoiding excessive and overly concentrated fertilization.
IV. Precautions
1. When fertilizing, follow the principle of "frequent application of thin fertilizers," applying a small amount multiple times to avoid fertilizer damage.
2. Pay attention to pest control. Begonias are prone to attacks from aphids and leaf-rolling insects during cultivation. Always observe carefully and address any issues promptly.
