Proper care of Royal begonia

Many flower growers love those plants, which, it seems, cannot be called flowers - they do not bloom. But the amazingly beautiful foliage of such flowers puts them on a par with those plants that have very beautiful flowers and inflorescences. Royal Begonia belongs to such "deciduous" beauties. This name hides more than one kind of begonias, which have a wide variety of colors and leaf shapes. Because of this incredible beauty, these begonias are so beloved all over the world. Caring for the Royal Begonia lives up to its name - it is capricious and sensitive to growing conditions.

This type of plant is very sensitive to sunlight, and to temperature conditions, and to drafts, and to watering, and even to a change in place on your favorite windowsill.

The temperature for good growth of royal begonia should be at least 15-16 degrees. If we talk about the upper limits of the temperature, then the temperature above 25 degrees has a bad effect on the growth of this amazing flower.

Begonia hibernates at temperatures from 15 to 20 degrees with very, very moderate watering. Moreover, a grower growing a Royal begonia will have to balance watering and temperature as much as possible. After all, even a slight imbalance in this system can lead to decay of the roots and the death of the entire plant ..

Royal begonia loves sunlight, but does not tolerate direct sunlight - its leaves can easily get sunburn. Spraying is especially dangerous for beautiful leaves - they become covered with brown spots.

Despite all the nuances of growing and caring for royal begonia, it will become an undoubted decoration of any home garden, thanks to the charming leaves of the most varied colors and shapes.

Good luck!
