growth habits

begonia is fond of sunshine, not tolerant of shade, and avoids water and humidity. Begonia flower is extremely cold-tolerant, and has strong adaptability to cold and dry climate, so it can withstand cold climate. Generally speaking, begonia can grow well at MINUS 15℃, and it can be placed outdoors completely, but if it is particularly cold, such as MINUS 3℃ and MINUS 4℃, it is necessary to take protective measures.

Begonia likes the sun, which is suitable for growing in sunny environment. If it is kept in a cool place for a long time, it will grow badly, so it must be kept in plenty of sunshine.
