Reasons and solutions for bud drop of Rieger Begonia

Rieger Begonia bud drop - overwatering

Excessive watering can cause bud drop on Rieger Begonia, which is a chain reaction. Because when watering too much, water is likely to accumulate in the pot of Begonia, which can cause root rot, especially in winter, and can easily cause frostbite, and in severe cases, cause bud drop.

Therefore, when watering Begonia, you need to follow the principle of watering only when the plant is completely dry, and water it thoroughly. When watering, the water temperature should be close to the room temperature. In addition, you need to observe the condition of the flower pot in time to avoid water accumulation in the pot.

Rieger Begonia buds falling - insufficient humidity

During its growth process, Begonia also needs to absorb water through the air. The humidity is not enough. If the air is too dry, it will be difficult for it to absorb water and start to drop its buds.

Rieger Begonia buds drop - temperature is too low

Temperature is the main factor affecting flowering. For Begonia, if the temperature is very low during flowering, the plant is prone to freezing and the flower buds are prone to falling off.

Therefore, when growing Begonia indoors, be sure to maintain a suitable temperature. It is best not to be lower than 10°C, and it is better to keep the temperature stable.

Rieger Begonia buds falling - improper operation

During the bud growth period of Begonia, improper operation will cause the buds to fall off.

It is best not to fertilize Begonia during its flowering period, and do not move the flower pot easily, as these may cause buds to fall off. Be sure to pay extra attention.
