How Much Sun Does My Bronze Leaf Pink Begonia Need?
Bronze Leaf Pink Begonia prefers to be planted in a location that receives some sunlight but likes to be in a shaded area. These plants can survive just fine in a full sun area, however, they grow best in areas that are shaded for hours at a time. Keeping them out of the sun for some time can help avoid any damage to their foliage or flowers. If you are planting this annual, plant in a location that does not receive full sun consistently.

How Do I Water Bronze Leaf Pink Begonia?
You must create a consistent watering schedule for your Bronze Leaf Pink Begonia, not too much and not too little. They require moist, well-draining soil. We recommend watering at the base of the plant to keep their foliage dry and avoid any diseases or leaf spots. Be careful not to overwater your begonia because this could result in root rot and permanent damage to the plant.
What Type Of Fertilizer Does Bronze Leaf Pink Begonia Require?
Bronze Leaf Pink Begonia does best when fed during the warm summer months. We suggest feeding them a liquid fertilizer, diluted, once every 10 days. This ensures your plant's flowers will bloom to their best potential. Stay away from fertilizing in the fall and winter to minimize any risk of plant damage.
What is The Best Soil for My Bronze Leaf Pink Begonia?
Any rich, well-draining soil will work perfectly with your Bronze Leaf Pink Begonia. This plant has no preference for soil pH and can even tolerate being planted in urban polluted areas. Their well-draining soil will help prevent any possibility of root rot, without it the plant could sit in too much water and cause root rot. However, this plant does require their soil to be moist, double-check if the top of your soil is dry, if so, water your plant.
