6” Begonia Rex

  1. **Light**: Provide bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves. 2. **Watering**: Keep the soil evenly moist but not soggy. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry, and be sure to allow excess water to drain away. 3. **Humidity**: Begonias appreciate high humidity. You can increase humidity by placing a tray of water with pebbles beneath the plant or by using a humidifier. 4. **Temperature**: Begonias prefer temperatures between 65-75°F (18-24°C) during the day and slightly cooler temperatures at night. 5. **Fertilizing**: Feed your begonia with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer diluted to half strength every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). 6. **Pruning**: Remove any dead or yellowing leaves to maintain the plant's appearance and encourage new growth. 7. **Pests and Diseases**: Keep an eye out for common pests like aphids, mealybugs, and spider mites. Treat any infestations promptly with insecticidal soap or neem oil. 8.
