Let's avoid exposing apartment plants to direct sunlight, which could damage the leaves, especially during the hottest months of the year. We should prefer a bright position, but with filtered light. The Begonia tuberhybrida can't tolerate freezings, therefore it is best to grow it in a cold green house or in an apartment; during late Spring we can place them outside, when all risks of freezings are unprobable.For a balanced development of the the Begonia tuberhybrida it is advisable to locate it in a place where it is exposed to at least a few hours of direct sunlight.
Irrigation Begonia tuberhybrida
To avoid that a scarce drainage could favour the development of fungal diseases, let's remember to avoid leaving water in the saucer. Let’s water these plants only when the substratum is clearly dry using 2-3 glasses of water ; during this period of the year we should intervene every 1-2 weeks , or even less if the weather is rainy.
Feed Begonia tuberhybrida
In the spring let’s use a fertilizer every 15-20 days, melting it in the water which we use to irrigate; we can choose a fertilizer for flowering plants or green plants, rich with nitrogen and potassium to favour a balanced development of the new vegetation. Otherwise we can, if we want to, use a slow release fertilizer, to add to the soil, every 3-4 months.

Adversity Begonia tuberhybrida
The spring weather, with a high temperature swing between the day and night hours, and pretty frequent rains, can favour the development of fungus diseases, which should be treated pre-emptively with a systemic fungicide, to use before the gems grow excessively; at the end of the winter we also suggest a wide range insecticide to prevent the attack of aphids and cochineals. We should always remember to do these treatments when there aren't flowerings in the garden.
Substrate Begonia tuberhybrida
These apartment plants favour very well drained soils.

Cultivate Begonia tuberhybrida
Seeing the quite contained development it’s possible to grow these plants in a container. The indications given in this article are related to a medium size plant.
