The rust of Begonia adnexa is very common, which mainly damages the branches and leaves. In winter, cut off the affected branches, eliminate the pathogens from the source, and spray the fungicide of Triadimefon for 2-3 times. Aphids are the common pests of Begonia sessile. When the number of aphids is small, the first consideration is to remove them artificially. If the number is large, the aphids can be sprayed with chemicals, oxidized dimethoate, chrysanthemum oil, etc.
