1. Temperature

Antler Begonia likes warmth and is not cold-tolerant. After buying a new one and bringing it home, it is best to control the surrounding temperature between 18-24℃, which is the most suitable for it. The ambient temperature of the growth environment allows it to adapt to the new environment faster and resume normal growth.

2. Watering

Don’t water the newly purchased Antler Begonia too much. It is relatively drought-tolerant. The best cultivation environment is moist but dry soil. If you water too much and water accumulates, the root system of the antler begonia will be damaged, so the amount of watering must be controlled.

3. Lighting

The growth of Antler Begonia requires sufficient light. After buying it home, you can move it to a place full of scattered light for maintenance, but it cannot be exposed to strong light. When the light is too strong, it should be shaded appropriately to avoid being burned.

4. Fertilization
