To raise foliage begonias, they need to be placed in a semi-shady environment to avoid being exposed to strong light, and the climate should be kept warm so that the plants can grow healthily. The soil should be rich in humus, have strong water retention capacity, and have good drainage. Garden soil and river sand can be used as the substrate. In daily maintenance, watering should be frequent, and if the climate is dry, it should be sprayed with water. Fertilizer should be applied every half month during the peak growing season.

1. Light temperature

1. Light temperature

Foliage begonias are suitable for growing in places with scattered light, and they prefer warm climates. Usually it should be maintained in a semi-shady place to avoid direct sunlight. Especially in summer, you must pay attention to shade. In winter, it can be properly exposed to light, and at the same time, it is necessary to keep warm to prevent the plants from being frostbitten.

2. Soft soil

View Begonia leaves have relatively high requirements on the soil. In addition to being rich in humus, it must also have strong water retention capacity and good drainage. This can ensure a moist environment without affecting the respiration of the roots due to too much water. You can use garden soil mixed with river sand to prepare potting soil, the ratio of the two is 2:1.

3. Water frequently

Foliage begonias like a humid climate, so watering must be frequent and don't let the environment become dry. It should be noted that the amount of water should be controlled every time you water, and there should be no stagnant water, otherwise it will cause root rot. If the climate is relatively dry, the temperature is high, and moisture is lost quickly, you need to spray water around to increase the humidity of the environment.

4. Reasonable fertilization

View Begonias require certain nutrients to grow, so fertilize them regularly. Usually, it needs to be applied every half month during the peak growing season. The fertilizer should be a compound fertilizer mainly composed of nitrogen fertilizer. You can also use thin cake fertilizer and water. When applying fertilizer, do not spray it on the leaves, but irrigate it at the roots so that it can be absorbed. .
