#ProPlantTips for Care:
Begonia are tender plants and do best in a full shade location in warmer climates and tolerate partial shade in cooler growing zones. Provide regular, consistent moisture and well-drained organic soil. Provide regular fertilizer to support those large flowers. After blooming, deadhead the withered flower at the top of the stem and allow the leaves to turn brown before removing them. The green leaves will provide nourishment for the plant for the remainder of the growing season.
- Partial Shade to Full Shade
- Organically Rich Soil
- Regular Consistent Moisture
- Regular Fertilizer & Deadheading
- Annual Accent or Houseplant
