Botany Encyclopedia

Species : Begonia grandis (Hardy Begonia)

🏝️ Habitat Conditions

It primarily inhabits Northeast Asia and thrives in shady, humid environments with wetlands.

🪨 Soil Mix

It is best to plant in well-draining soil. A common mix ratio is 40% potting soil, 20% bark, 20% leaf mold, 10% perlite, and 10% charcoal. This can vary depending on conditions and environment.

🌡️ Environment

Maintain daytime temperatures between 20-25°C and nighttime temperatures between 10-15°C. Keep humidity levels between 40-70% for a moist environment. Ensure good air circulation to prevent mold and pests, which can occur if humidity is high but air circulation is poor.

☀️ Light

It is best to grow in a shaded area without direct sunlight.

💧 Water

From spring to fall, water the plant when the surface soil dries out, keeping the soil consistently moist. In winter, water when the inner soil dries out.

🌱 Propagate

Propagation is mainly done through cuttings. For cuttings, use sterilized tools to cut 10-20 cm branches at an angle. Let them dry for 3-4 hours, then place them in soil or water for propagation. 1. For water propagation, avoid transparent containers. Place the stem in water, and once roots appear, use hydroponic fertilizer. If roots are 5-7 cm or longer, transfer to soil. 2. For soil propagation, plant deeply in soil without fertilizer. After taking cuttings, avoid exposing them to bright light. Gradually increase light exposure to help them adapt to gentle light. Maintain high humidity and keep the temperature between 20-25°C.

🪴 Repot

Repot in spring every 1-2 years due to its relatively fast growth rate.

💊 Fertilize

Fertilizer is not needed much, but using it at the recommended amount from spring to summer can promote more vigorous growth. After repotting, it is best to wait 2-4 weeks before applying fertilizer.

🌺 Flower

If exposed to too much light, the plant will not bloom. It's better to place it in a shaded area where it can receive indirect light. The plant blooms from summer to fall.
