Planting And Care
This species grows best under bright filtered lighting, as direct sunlight will cause leaf scorch. Plant in well-drained, porous soil, because the rhizome is prone to rotting in waterlogged soil. Allow the soil to dry between watering. Keep the leaves dry to prevent leaf spot.
Light Requirement
- These Begonias grow best in bright indirect sunlight coming from a south, east or west window.
- Fluorescent grow lights are also an excellent alternative to natural light for these plants.
Soil
- In the garden, they require free- draining soil improved with compost.
- Heavy clay soil that becomes waterlogged is unsuited, as it can cause root and stem rot.
- In pots, use a light free- draining potting mix containing coco coir, perlite or vermiculite (African violet mix works well)
Watering
- Water only when the soil dries out 20-40%.
- Water only at the roots.
Application of Fertilizer
For potted plants, apply a general-purpose slow-release fertilizer at the time of potting and liquid fertilizer at half-strength every two to three weeks during the growing period. In the garden, it’s advisable to incorporate a general-purpose fertilizer into the soil at planting time.
Re-potting
Wait to repot until the container is filled with roots. This will be clearly obvious if you gently remove the plant from its pot. If there is still loose soil, allow the begonia to grow more. When the plant’s roots hold all of the soil, it’s time for a transplant.
Uses
Ornamental purpose for their beautiful foliage.
