How often should I water the iron begonia?

Spring and autumn are the periods of vigorous growth, and water needs to be replenished in time. It can be watered every 3-4 days. The principle is to water when the soil is dry and wet when the soil is wet. In early summer, you can water it once a day. In the later period, when the temperature rises to about 35 degrees Celsius, you can stop watering. The cold wind in winter will cause the iron crabapple to dormant, and you don’t need to water it anymore. It is best to water it with collected rainwater and rice water.

Watering method of Begonia thornii

1. Observe the potting soil : When watering it, generally do not water it unless the soil is dry. That is, you can water it after the cultivation soil is dry. In addition to watering it at ordinary times, you should also spray water when the air humidity is relatively low, but do not splash water on the flowers that have already opened.

2. Watering during the flowering period : You must control the water content during the flowering period. If you accidentally apply too much water at this time, it will cause the flowers to fall off and the roots to rot. Wait until the flowers have faded and then gradually apply water.

Matters Needing Attention When Watering Begonia

1. Do not water too much : prevent waterlogging in the rainy season. In winter, the temperature is low and the leaves fall off, entering a dormant period. The soil in the pot should be kept dry. Do not water if it is not dry. The pot should not be kept moist for a long time. The water content should also be controlled during the flowering period. Too much water can easily cause the flowers to fall off and the roots to rot.

2. Watering frequency : The frequency of watering should not only be determined by seasons, but also by weather conditions. In clear weather, watering can be increased appropriately, but watering should be suspended in rainy weather.
