When you first buy an iris, you should let it adapt to the right conditions for a period of time. It is preferable to maintain an ambient temperature of 15-20 ℃. Don't water too much at first to prevent the pot soil from accumulating water and rotting roots. And wat can be timely sprayed to that periphery of the blade. Don't rush to fertilize when you just buy it back, too much fertilizer may burn roots. After it adapts to the environment, it can change pots and soil. Before repotting, the soil and roots should be disinfected, and after repotting, fertilizer and water can be added.

1. Soil

Rieger Begonia likes slightly acidic soil, and the planting soil mixed with garden soil and pine needle soil is better, which meets the requirements of slightly acidic and takes into account ventilation and ventilation.If there is no pine needle soil, dilute ferrous sulfate can be added to the garden soil to adjust the acidity and alkalinity of the soil.

2. Environment

3. Watering

Do not water before repotting. Water thoroughly after repotting or after growth traces begin to appear.It likes wet environment, while watering, it should spray water mist around it to increase air humidity.Too dry environment will cause problems such as dry leaves or gray mold.

4. Fertilization

When watering, a small amount of potash fertilizer can be added to the water once every half a month to promote its growth.After the flowering period, compound fertilizer can be applied once to supplement nutrition and prepare for the next flowering.Fertilization is not needed at other times, and excessive fertilization may lead to root damage, which is not worth the loss.
