The following pro-agricultural network will introduce you about the breeding methods and matters needing attention of Rieger Begonia.

1. The growth habits of Rieger Begonia

Rieger crabapple is mainly distributed in tropical and subtropical areas, is a relatively cold-resistant plant, like the warm, humid semi-shade environment, the lowest temperature in winter should not be lower than 15 ℃, so it needs to be moved to the greenhouse or indoor culture in winter.

Second, the culture method of Rieger Begonia.

The maintenance of Rieger Begonia needs to be adjusted according to the season, such as increasing the amount of water in summer and taking into account the factors of light while keeping warm in winter. Let's take a look at it in detail.

1. Watering

Watering should be carried out according to the specific situation. For example, in summer with a large amount of evaporation, you should water more, preferably in the morning or evening; in winter, it is best to water at noon, and the water temperature is not too low to avoid frostbite. Note that watering should be decided according to the condition of the basin soil.

In the daily management, you can increase the air humidity by spraying water. Pay attention to spraying water on the leaves, not on the flowers.

two。 Fertilizer application

Fertilization is very important for the growth of Rieger Begonia. The principle of fertilization for Rieger Begonia is to apply fertilizer thinly. The seedlings of Rieger Begonia need to apply some nitrogen fertilizer. When the plant grows up gradually, it is necessary to reduce the use of nitrogen fertilizer and apply more potash and phosphate fertilizer. Before flowering, it is necessary to apply more fertilizer to ensure sufficient nutrients for flowering. You can also spray some not too thick foliar fertilizer.

3. Temperature

In terms of temperature, the suitable culture temperature of Rieger Begonia is 18 ℃ ~ 22 ℃, which is relatively high temperature. Therefore, Rieger Begonia likes a warm living environment and needs to pay attention to the lower temperature in winter. When raising Rieger crabapple, we need to do a good job of heat preservation in winter. The temperature of Rieger begonia overwintering in winter should not be lower than 15 ℃.

It should be noted that Rieger Begonia is still blooming in winter, so it needs to be kept dry to get plenty of light. You can put Rieger Begonia flowerpots in places where you can get in touch with more sunlight, such as south-facing balconies, windowsills and so on. Don't put it near the heater. And in summer, we also need to pay attention to the temperature, when the temperature is too high, we should take cooling measures to shade in time.

4. Light

In order to promote the growth of Rieger Begonia, it is necessary to make Rieger Begonia exposed to sufficient sunlight. However, in the growth process of Rieger Begonia, it is necessary to control the light. The shading work in the early stage of growth can not be reduced. Secondly, Rieger Begonia is a kind of plant with short sunshine, which often needs artificial light, and dark treatment is needed before flowering, and how to control the light well needs to be carried out according to the different climate of each region.

The above is the introduction of the breeding methods of Rieger Begonia brought by the pro-agricultural network. I wonder if such a flower has attracted everyone's attention.
