Temperature

In terms of temperature, the suitable breeding temperature for Lige Begonia is 18°C to 22°C. This temperature range is relatively high. Therefore, it likes a warm living environment, and attention should be paid to the lower temperatures in winter. When breeding at home, it is necessary to do a good job of heat preservation in winter. The temperature for overwintering in winter should not be lower than 15°C.

It should be noted that Rieger Begonia is still blooming in winter, so it needs to be kept dry to get sufficient light. You can place the Lige Begonia flowerpot in a place where it can get more sunlight, such as a south-facing balcony or windowsill. Don't place it near a heater. Also in summer, you need to pay attention to the temperature. When the temperature is too high, you need to take cooling measures and provide timely shade.

Water

Watering work should be carried out according to specific conditions. For example, in summer when evaporation is high, you need to water more, preferably in the morning or evening; in winter, it is best to water at noon, and the water temperature should not be too low to avoid frostbite to the plants. Note that watering should be determined according to the condition of the pot soil.

In daily management, you can increase air humidity by spraying water. Pay attention to spraying water on the leaves and not on the flowers.

Lighting

In order to promote the growth of Lige Begonia, it needs to be exposed to sufficient sunlight. However, during the growth process of Lige Begonia, light control needs to be done. Shading work in the early stage of growth cannot be less. Secondly, Lige Begonia is a short-day plant, which often requires artificial supplementary light and dark treatment before flowering. How to control the light needs to be carried out according to the different climates of each region.

Fertilization

Fertilization is also the key to its growth. The principle of fertilizing Lige Begonia is to apply fertilizer thinly and frequently.

The seedlings of Lige Begonia need some nitrogen fertilizer. When the plants gradually grow up, the use of nitrogen fertilizer should be reduced and more potassium and phosphorus fertilizers should be applied. Before flowering, you need to apply more fertilizer to ensure sufficient nutrients for flowering. You can also spray some foliar fertilizer that is not too concentrated.
