Care

General Maintenance: Prune back at least twice per year to maintain compact growth. Stem cuttings are easily propagated in soil or water. Annual repotting in spring will help greatly.

Temperature: 16 to 30 degrees Celsius is ideal for this begonia.

Light: Bright, indirect light. Higher light levels will promote strong growth and blooms, but avoid direct sunlight.

Watering: Keep the soil generally moist, letting the top half inch of soil dry out between watering. Will not tolerate soggy soil.

Soil: A light houseplant potting mix is ideal. Add perlite if drainage is insufficient.

Fertilizer: Balanced, water-soluble fertilizer applied every 2-4 weeks when the plant is actively growing.
