Four-season maintenance method of begonia

Begonia four seasons is a flower that is very afraid of high temperature weather. During summer maintenance, when the temperature rises above 35℃, plants will stop growing and enter a dormant state. After dormancy, plants should control water, stop fertilizing, and can't continue to bask in the sun, otherwise they will easily rot their roots and yellow leaves.

After entering autumn, with the weather getting colder, Begonia began to wake up from dormancy and enter the peak growth period. At this time, when maintaining, it is necessary to master three maintenance skills so that plants can thrive. I believe that before long, they will be full of flowers.

First, start to increase the light.

Begonia is a flower with short sunshine, although it is afraid of strong light in summer and needs shade. In the peak season, when there is no sunshine at all, it will lead to excessive growth of branches and leaves and prevent pregnancy and flowering. Maintaining sufficient light during the growing period can increase photosynthesis, prevent excessive growth of plants and promote the flowering of pregnant buds.

After entering autumn, the light intensity began to weaken. When the ambient temperature drops below 28℃, begonia should see more sunshine in four seasons. At first, potted plants can be placed in a place with scattered light, and then transferred to the environment with direct light after 10 months, which can better promote the flowering of plant buds.

Second, do reasonable watering.

Begonia is a flower that is very afraid of waterlogging in four seasons. It is not only necessary to control its moisture during the dormant period in summer, but also in the peak season, if watering is too frequent, the basin soil will be in a wet state for a long time, the roots of plants can not breathe normally, the roots often rot, and the leaves turn yellow and fall off.

Of course, at the peak of growth, the pot soil can't be too dry and short of water, and plants can't absorb water and it's not easy to grow new branches. In autumn, the maintenance of begonia in four seasons should be carried out when it is wet and dry alternately, and the basin soil should be watered in time, as long as the soil is not wet for a long time.

When the temperature is low in winter, reduce watering and put potted plants in sunny places, which will help plants survive the winter and prevent frostbite.

Third, provide adequate nutrition.

Remember not to fertilize the begonia when it is dormant in summer. At this time, when the temperature is high, the plants stop growing and do not need too many nutrients. If fertilized again, it will not be easily absorbed by plants, and fertilizer will easily burn the roots of flowers.

Even if begonia is fertilized, it can't be too thick. You can pour some dilute liquid fertilizer on it, almost once every half month, to provide sufficient nutrients for plants and make them grow more luxuriantly. Add some phosphorus and potassium to the new branches when they grow. 0. 1% potassium dihydrogen phosphate can be sprayed on the leaves or poured on the roots every 10 day, so that it can change from vegetative growth to reproductive growth as soon as possible, that is, it can germinate and bloom as soon as possible.

In autumn, Begonia began to shift from dormancy to growth peak. At this time, you can't raise it like summer. It should be moved to a ventilated and sunny place, watered properly, and applied with some thin fertilizer regularly to make the plants grow rapidly, and the buds will bloom after a period of time.
