What to do after the begonia flowers fade

1. Measures after the flowers fade:

1. Change the soil: The substrate of Begonia can be made of river sand mixed with rotten leaves. Stir it thoroughly and change it to a suitable growth environment to help Begonia grow quickly.

2. Watering: After the begonia flowers fade, we should reduce the amount of watering and keep the soil in the begonia pot slightly dry. Water it about every two days and spray water mist around it frequently to increase the air humidity. It should also be noted that when watering, we should not water vertically from top to bottom, but water slowly around the begonia pot.

3. Fertilization: After the begonia flowers fade, we should apply fertilizer according to the growth of the begonia leaves. We cannot apply too much fertilizer, otherwise the leaves will grow in vain and new flowers will not grow.

4. Pinching: After the flowers of the four-season begonia fade, you should pinch off the tips in time to remove the dead flowers, so that its new flowers will be more lush in the future.

5. Pruning: Before the begonia blooms, we should prune the branches and leaves in time to prevent them from consuming nutrients. After pruning, its flowers will definitely be more colorful, healthy and dazzling.

2. Extend the flowering period:

1. Antifreeze: Before winter comes, we should place the begonia in a warm place indoors.

2. Disease prevention: In summer, Begonia is prone to blossom blight. Once we find symptoms, we should reduce the amount of watering in time, and continuing for a period of time can alleviate the symptoms.

3. Pest control: Leaf roller is a common pest that causes disease in begonia. The larvae of this insect will eat the flowers of begonia. For this situation, if it is not particularly serious, we can choose to capture it manually.
