Begonia sinensis

continental : Plant which needs at least a few hours a day of solar rays.
We suggest growing the the Begonia sinensis outdoors during the summer.

alpine : These plants love very sunny positions, which are directly exposed to sunrays even for many hours a day.
These plants aren't rustic, but during the hot months they can be grown outdoors without any problems.

mediterranean : These plants can be placed in a very bright place, possibly sunny, directly under the solar rays for a few hours a day.
These plants can be grown outdoors without problems in the summer; during the cold months they should instead be sheltered by the frost.

continental : The Begonia sinensis needs very frequent watering; during this period of the year we advise watering even every 0-1 weeks using 1,5 litres of water, trying to keep the substratum always slightly damp.

alpine : We advise frequent watering, every 1-2 weeks using 0,5 litres of water, so that the soil is always a bit humid.

mediterranean : The watering must be very regular and frequent, using 2,5 litres of water, so that the soil is always slightly damp, avoiding excesses and water stagnation. A good rule is to wet every 0-0 weeks.

Fertilize Begonia sinensis : We suggest to continue our periodical fertilizations during the summer months; let’s add some fertilizer for green plants or flowering plants every 15-20 days.

Pests Begonia sinensis : During the summer months it is best to apply precise treatments, specifically against each type of parasite, to be used only when we have already noticed the presence of fungus or insects on our plants; these treatments should be applied during the coolest hours of the day. In general during this period of the year an infesting of ticks and rust is very likely to occur, because its development is favoured by dry climates.
