Double Dot Begonia | Begonia c
With the right growing conditions, this Begonia is an excellent houseplant
Light:Â Limited bright light. Too much direct sunlight will cause its leaf tips to brown and its color to fade. It does like bright, indirect light but will survive in less bright locations.
Soil: Loose, well-draining soil. A generic house planting mix should work well. If it seems too heavy, you can loosen the soil with some perlite.
Water: Keep moderately moist. However, soggy soil is a no-go. It will suffer root rot if it's overwatered.
Temperature: Needs mild temperatures and high humidity. Temperatures between 65 and 85 degrees Fahrenheit are ideal. A humidity level greater than 45 percent will help prevent the leaves from drying out. If your home is dry, especially during the winter, place the plant on a pebble tray with water or use a humidifier.
Feeding: Feed with a basic houseplant fertilizer during the spring and summer every other time you water the plant. During the fall and winter months, you do not need to fertilize.
