How to Spend the Summer with Begonia

The summer is hot and rainy. Begonia likes sunshine and is slightly shade-tolerant, but you need to pay attention to shade in summer. How can you spend the summer well?

Sunshade work

When the weather is hot from June to August, because of the strong sunlight, it is best to grow Begonia in a well-ventilated and well-lit place indoors.

Be sure to note that it cannot be exposed to direct sunlight. Begonia prefers a semi-shaded environment and is afraid of strong sunlight exposure. Otherwise, the leaves of Begonia will curl, have burnt spots, yellow leaves and other symptoms.

Therefore, attention must be paid to shading during summer maintenance; the degree of shading should not be too large, just appropriate.

Watering method

Begonia likes water. When watering in summer, you should water and maintain it according to the growth conditions of the plant.

Begonia is a plant that is afraid of waterlogging in the soil. If waterlogging occurs in the soil, it will cause root rot and leaf fall, affecting the normal growth of the plant.

However, if you water too little and the soil in the pot is too dry, the leaves of the begonia will turn yellow and wilt. Therefore, watering should be appropriate in summer, preferably before 8 am. Also spray water on the leaves every day to keep them moist.

Fertilization management

In summer, Begonia is in a dormant state. At this time, do not apply fertilizer, especially concentrated fertilizer, otherwise it will cause root rot and yellow leaves, so stop fertilizing.

Well, the above are the summer care methods for Begonia. Have you remembered them? Remember to follow the editor’s methods and warnings when summer comes.
