Begonias grow well under partial shade and indirect bright light. Too much light will scorch the leaves, too little light will not allow the plant to flower. When growing as an outdoor planting, use a well-drained potting soil, and mix with compost or peat moss. Begonias prefer moderate temperature from 60–75°F (15–24°C), and moderate humidity; they are a great choice for shaded gardens and indoor conditions.


Care and Maintenance


Water: Keep the soil evenly moist, but be careful not to overwater to the point of soggy soil. Boggy soils may lead to root rot.


Fertilize: Using a balanced fertilizer, fertilize every 2–3 weeks during the growing season.


Prune: Deadhead all faded blooms and prune any leggy stems to allow fresh growth.


Begonias may have some pests such as aphids or spider mites. Be aware of good airflow, and keep looking after plants to manage pests.

Propagation


Begonias are simple to propagate from stem cuttings, leaf cuttings, or simply dividing them from their rhizomes and tubers. Gardeners can easily expand their collections this way.

Conclusion
