Begonia Care Tips
Woody begonias are not very picky about soil, but they prefer loose, fertile, and well-draining soil. Therefore, when planting in pots, a mixture of decomposed leaf soil, garden soil, and sand can be used, to which a small amount of decomposed manure is added and mixed well before planting. Woody begonias prefer a sunnier environment, so they can be grown in a more sunlit area. However, they can also grow and bloom in a semi-shaded environment, although they may tend to grow too tall. Woody begonias are usually planted in the ground and can be grown as ornamental trees in the courtyard or as potted plants. When the soil is dry during the growing period, water thoroughly, and there should be no problem as long as it is not constantly waterlogged. To make woody begonias bloom, in addition to adding a small amount of decomposed manure at the time of planting, it is also necessary to apply a balanced NPK fertilizer after blooming to make the begonia fruits grow better and more delicious.

Peonies prefer a warm environment, with a suitable growing temperature of 15-25 degrees Celsius. High summer temperatures can affect their growth, so some shading is needed.

After blooming, promptly prune the残花 (withered flowers) and apply a balanced NPK fertilizer to help the peonies recover and rest, preparing for blooming again the following year.
