Begonia flower was first found in the pre-Qin period, and now it has the reputation of national beauty, belonging to one of the unique plants in China. It grows between 50m and 2000m above sea level. It belongs to arborous plants, which can grow up to 8 meters high. Whether it's a yard or a park, it's suitable for planting, and planting in a flowerpot is also a good choice. Let's talk to friends about how to extend its flowering period.

1. Its flowering period

The flowering period of this plant is from April to May. The flowers are white, with a diameter of about 4cm to 5cm. The leaves are about 5cm to 8cm long and 2cm to 3cm wide, which are similar to the size of the flowers. Therefore, when they are in full bloom, small white flowers are produced between the green leaves, which is not always elegant and has a classical beauty.

2. Methods of prolonging florescence

Lighting: first of all, we must ensure sufficient lighting, otherwise the flowers themselves will not grow well, which will also seriously affect the flowering, and it is impossible to extend the flowering. If we put it in a place without lighting for a long time, it will even make it unable to bloom.

Ventilation: especially indoor potted plants should pay more attention to the air circulation, try to put it on the balcony or indoor.

Pruning: pruning should be carried out at the beginning of spring. Prune the weak, too long and thin, side out and side out. At the same time, take care. At this time, don't let love run rampant and don't give up the flower buds. In this way, the first is to increase the light transmittance and ventilation of plants, and the second is to concentrate nutrients to avoid unnecessary loss. It is very helpful to extend the flowering period, and it can also make the plants more dense.

Nutrients: not to extend the flowering period is to fertilize in the flowering period, but just back, winter and summer to stop fertilizing, in other times to give sufficient nutrients

Change basin: with the growth of plants, change basin and soil in time. Keep enough nutrients in the soil. The flowerpot is big enough for it to grow.
