Don’t repot the bamboo begonia you just bought if it still has flower buds. After you buy it home, do not expose it to the sun. Place it in a well-ventilated place for 3 days to allow the plant to adapt to the new environment, and then gradually increase the light. Watering should be done from dry to wet. You can weigh the pot soil with your hands and it will feel noticeably lighter and watered thoroughly. If the temperature is low in winter, it is necessary to properly control the water and open windows frequently for indoor maintenance to prevent the bamboo begonia from getting sick and getting insects.

1. How to deal with the newly purchased bamboo begonias

The newly purchased bamboo begonias should be placed in a well-lit and ventilated place to adapt to the new environment. Wait for 3 days before gradually gaining light. Usually, carry the potting soil. Water lightly and thoroughly, and provide plenty of ventilation to prevent the plants from falling and prevent the occurrence of pests and diseases.

2. How to grow the bamboo begonia you just bought

1. Light: In the three seasons of spring, autumn and winter, when growing domestic bamboo begonias, you must give them sufficient light. However, proper shade is required in summer. Too much light will cause the leaves of the plant to turn yellow, hindering the normal growth of bamboo begonias.

2. Temperature: Bamboo Begonia is relatively cold-resistant and can grow normally if it is kept above 15℃ in winter. If the temperature is as low as about 5°C, as long as we properly control water and keep the soil dry, the plants can survive the winter safely.

3. Watering: During the peak growth season of the plant, watering is required. Adhering to the watering principle of "see dry, see wet", you can usually weigh the pot soil and it will feel obviously lighter and watered thoroughly. Water less when the temperature is low in winter, and watering should be done at noon when the temperature is high.

4. Fertilization: If you want to fertilize bamboo begonias, you should do it during the plant growth period. Usually, a balanced fertilizer of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium is poured once every half month. Use phosphorus and potassium fertilizer before the flowering period. Stop fertilizing after flowering. No fertilizing during high temperatures in summer and low temperatures in winter.

5. Pests and diseases: The main disease that harms bamboo begonias is leaf spot. It can be prevented by frequent ventilation and regular spraying of carbendazim. In addition, bamboo begonias also like to attract red spider mites, which can be controlled with pyridazolin and acarid mites.
