How to care for the newly bought Staghorn Begonia

1. Temperature

Staghorn Begonia likes warmth and is not cold-resistant. After you buy it home, it is best to control the surrounding temperature between 18-24℃, which is the most suitable temperature for its growth. It can allow it to adapt to the new environment faster and resume normal growth.

2. Watering

Don’t water the newly bought Staghorn Begonia too much. It is relatively drought-resistant and the best cultivation environment is one with moist but slightly dry soil. If you water too much and water accumulates, the root system of the Staghorn Begonia will be damaged, so the amount of water must be controlled.

3. Lighting

The growth of Staghorn Begonia requires sufficient light. After buying it home, you can move it to a place with scattered light for maintenance, but it cannot be exposed to strong light. When the light is too strong, provide appropriate shade to avoid burns.

4. Fertilization

Don't fertilize the Staghorn Begonia when you just buy it. Fertilizing it at this time can easily cause root burn. You need to wait until it resumes normal growth before fertilizing it, and use nitrogen fertilizer mainly.
