Giant ORANGE PENDULUM BEGONIA WITH HANGING FLOWERS - 4264-

Tips for growing begonias successfully:

Planting season: Plant begonia bulbs in spring or early summer, when the risk of frost has passed and temperatures are moderate.

Soil selection: Use well-drained, nutrient-rich soil to grow begonias. You can enrich the soil with compost or organic matter to improve its structure and fertility.

Planting depth: Plant begonia bulbs about 3-5 cm deep in the soil, with the concave side facing up. Be sure to leave adequate space between the bulbs to allow for good growth.

Location and exposure: Begonias prefer partially shaded locations with indirect sunlight. Avoid direct sunlight during the hottest hours of the day.

Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist without allowing water to stagnate around the bulbs. Begonias love humidity but do not tolerate excessively wet soil, which could cause rot.

Fertilization: Use a balanced or specific flowering fertilizer during the active growing season. Follow the package instructions to avoid overdosing, which could damage the plants.

Removing faded flowers: Regularly remove faded flowers to encourage the plant to produce new flowers and maintain continuous flowering.

Bulb Storage: At the end of the growing season, you can dig up the begonia bulbs, air dry them for a few days, and store them in a cool, dry place until the next planting.
