Suitable breeding environment1. Light: Begonias like plenty of sunlight. In winter breeding, begonias should be placed in a sunny place in the room to ensure their normal growth.
2. Temperature: The indoor temperature in winter should be maintained above 10℃, avoiding too low temperature that causes begonias to freeze.

Pruning and pest and disease control1. Pruning: The pruning of begonias in winter should be done after the flowers fade, removing withered branches, diseased branches, and dense branches to promote ventilation and light transmission of the plant.
2. Pest and disease control: Begonias in winter are prone to be invaded by pests such as aphids and red spiders. When pests and diseases are found, measures should be taken in a timely manner, such as spraying insecticides and removing diseased leaves.
Precautions1. Avoid strong wind: Begonias in winter are relatively fragile and should avoid strong winds to prevent branch breakage.
