Caring for Begonia hybrids depends on the specific variety, but here are some general guidelines to keep them thriving:
-
Light: Most begonias prefer bright, indirect light. Some varieties, like wax begonias, can tolerate more sun, while others, like Rex begonias, thrive in shade.
-
Watering: Keep the soil evenly moist but not soggy. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out before watering again to prevent root rot.
-
Humidity: Begonias love high humidity, so misting or placing a pebble tray nearby can help.
-
Soil: Use well-draining, organic-rich soil to support healthy growth.
-
Fertilization: Feed with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every few weeks during the growing seaso
