RIEGER BEGONIA

These Begonias are grown for their big, beautiful rose like flowers. Keeping this plant happy is fairly easy, with the right care they will bloom again and again. 

Light: place in an area with bright indirect light, the more light they receive, the more they will bloom. Avoid placing them in direct sunlight as that can burn their leaves. 

Water: when the soil is about 30% dry, this plant does better with bottom watering, take care not to get water on the leaves as it can lead to fungal diseases. 

Things to note: this plant likes higher humidity, use a humidifier, if you can, to bring the humidity up.    You can easily propagate this plant from cuttings.   Keep out of drafts and cold windows.   Deadhead spend blooms to encourage new flowers to form.
