How to Care for White Begonia
Before you buy a White Green-Leaf Begonia plant, make sure to read about the care instructions that are required and recommended to keep this plant healthy and thriving!
How Do I Water White Green-Leaf Begonia?
White Green-Leaf Begonia requires evenly moist, well-drained soil to thrive. However, do not overwater your plant because if they sit in standing water for too long, they will get root rot disease. A regular watering schedule will be the most beneficial for the plant's success. We recommend watering your plant at the base to keep their foliage dry and prevent any leaf spot or diseases.
What Type Of Fertilizer Does Green-Leaf Begonia Require?
To keep your Big Leaf Pink Begonia in its best shape, we recommend feeding them every ten days in the summer. Any slightly diluted liquid fertilizer will work perfectly. Doing so will ensure your plant's flowers will bloom to their best potential. Be sure not to over-fertilize your plant because too much fertilizer will cause root burn and damage your plants. Avoid fertilizing in the fall and winter time to minimize the risk of any plant damage.
What is The Best Soil for My White Green-Leaf Begonia?
White Green-Leaf Begonia requires rich, well-draining soil. It is not particular to a specific pH and can tolerate urban-polluted locations. The well-draining soil conditions will help avoid any possibility of root rot, a disease this plant is susceptible to. However, this plant does require its soil to be moist at all times. It is a tricky but crucial balance for your plant to get enough water and have its soil be moist without overwatering at the same time.
How Much Sun Does My White Green-Leaf Begonia Need?
White Green-Leaf Begonia plants prefer a more shaded location that receives little sunlight each day. Even though they can survive in full sun, they do their best when given time away from the sun. If you are planting your annual in the garden, it's best to choose the shadiest part of your garden. If you are using it in a container outside, make sure you place it in a location that gets very little direct sunlight. Doing so will avoid any risk of burning the leaves or causing any other damage.
