Care

General Maintenance: Repot annually, as they do not like to be rootbound.

Temperature: Does best in temperatures between 10C to 24C. This variety would prefer to be on the cooler side.

Light: A bright location, but without direct sunlight. An east facing window, or a few feet back from a west facing window will be perfect.

Watering: Prone to root rot, so water only once the top 2-3 inches of soil has become dry. They tend to dislike dry locations, so keep away from heat vents, fireplaces, etc. They also do not like constantly wet leaves so keep away from overly humid areas such as bathrooms and avoid getting water on the leaves when watering. Reduce watering in the winter (but do not like dry out completely).

Fertilizer: Use a standard houseplant fertilizer once a week during the growing season and while flowering. Can also use controlled release fertilizer pellets.

Soil: Any soil will work as long as it is well-draining, since begonias are prone to root rot. They tend to prefer soils containing peat moss and perlite.
