Begonia flowers normally open between April and may in spring, but this is not absolutely right. The specific flowering time is related to the light given during curing. If the light is sufficient, the flowering will advance and the flowering period will be longer. If it is kept away from light for a long time, and the temperature is low, the flowers will bloom very late, and the flowers will wither early.
In addition, the flowering time is related to the variety. Some species bloom early, such as Begonia Pedicularis and Begonia verticillata, usually open between March and April in spring. And begonias bloom in spring and autumn.
1. Watering: during the blooming period, the water consumption will be greater than usual, so make up water in time after flowering to keep moist and recover as soon as possible. When watering, change from flowerpot to permeate slowly. The water is best dried. However, we should pay attention to reduce the amount of water in the germination period to avoid rotten roots.
2. Fertilization: after flower withering, it is necessary to make up fertilizer in time. Adequate nutrition is more beneficial to the recovery of growth. When applying fertilizer, the concentration should not be too high. It is better to apply thin fertilizer many times to avoid burning roots.
3. Pruning: after the flower is withered, cut off the remaining flowers as soon as possible to reduce the nutrient consumption and promote the plant to grow more vigorously. Attention should be paid to removing the flower center before cutting off the remnant flowers.
