Watering Begonia tuberhybridaTenere asciutto
Let’s avoid watering the the Begonia tuberhybrida excessively, always leaving the soil dry for a few days between one watering and the other, therefore let’s irrigate the substratum deeply every 1-2 weeks with 2-3 glasses of water . It is advisable to water the plants avoiding to leave water in the saucer, because stagnant water often develops fungal diseases.

Exposure Begonia tuberhybridaSole pieno
Plant which need at least a few hours a day of solar light. These plants can be brought outside only if there isn't any more danger of freezings. Usually they are moved to the garden, or terrace, during the months of April-May.We suggest locating the vases in a pretty bright place, although avoiding direct sunlight, which could damage the foliage.

Treatments Begonia tuberhybrida
As the day-time temperatures rise at the beginning of the spring, it is agreeable to practice a preventive treatment, with a wide-range insecticide, which should be applied when there aren’t flowerings in the garden. Before the buds become too large, it is advisable to also treat them with a wide-range fungicide, to prevent the development of fungal diseases which spread easily when there is an elevated environmental moisture.

Soil Begonia tuberhybrida
These plants favour soft and very well drained soils. We suggest, every 2-3 years to repot the plants, changing the soil.
