It is best to place the Begonia in a place with diffused light for daily maintenance, to receive soft sunlight, not too much exposure or too hot. Placing it on the east or west balcony or windowsill is a good choice.
2. Do not water the leaves
When watering the Begonia, be careful not to get the water on its branches and leaves. Water along the edge of the pot, pick up the pot to check if it's light before watering, and water thoroughly until water flows out of the bottom of the pot to avoid black rot.

Begonia potted plants have a long blooming period. Adding a little phosphorus and potassium fertilizer when watering can make it bloom continuously.
