Description
Watering:
Regular watering is important for healthy plants. The soil should remain moist at all times, but not too wet, as this can cause root rot.
Fertilizer:
Apply liquid fertilizer once in 15 days when the plant is actively growing.
Re-potting:
Potted begonias prefer to be slightly root-bound rather than given too much room. Only repot when necessary, and preferably in spring before plants are moved outside and start actively growing.

Prefers plenty of indirect sunlight and room temperatures of 20 – 30 degrees.
