What is the reason for the leaf crimping of Rieger Begonia

Rieger Begonia is a herbaceous plant under the family Begonia. Its plant shape is plump and its flower shape is varied. It is a very beautiful ornamental species. Because Rieger Begonia can bloom for a long time and bloom in winter, it is a good variety suitable for beautifying indoor environment. But many people have encountered when raising Rieger Begonia indoors. Their own Rieger Begonia will have withered or curled leaves, so how should we deal with it at this time? The following pro-agricultural network will give you an answer.

1. Lack of water

When the leaves wither and curl, the first thing to do is to see if there is less water, which is the most common, and its most striking feature is that the top of the plant begins to wither downwards. The measure that needs to be taken in this situation is to replenish water, which can be watered in time and sprayed to the leaves, preferably in both ways, so that Rieger Begonia can recover more quickly. It should be noted that in the hot summer environment, do not use water that is too low in temperature.

Second, too much watering

In addition to the lack of water, overwatering will also lead to leaf curl, the way to judge at this time is to observe the basin soil, if there is stagnant water in the basin, it may be overwatering, which is also one of the causes of leaf problems. At this time, it is necessary to move the plants indoors to avoid light and wind, and at the same time cut off part of the leaves, properly remove part of the soil in the basin and replace it with dry soil. it usually takes about one to two weeks for the plants in the basin to return to normal.

III. Excessive fertilization

If there is too much fertilizer in the soil, it will make the water of the plant seep out, this situation is also very serious, it is likely to cause the plant to wither, so we should be vigilant. At this time, it is necessary to first wash the basin soil with clean water and discharge the excess water in time. Or remove part of the soil and replace it with a normal one. In order to restore the plants in time, they should also replenish water to the leaves and protect the main parts of the plants.

IV. Other factors

If all the above conditions are excluded, we should consider whether there are diseases and insect pests. If there are no obvious pests on the leaves, we need to pay attention to the roots of the plant, use medicine in time, and remove the disease.

Rieger begonia likes to grow in a semi-shady environment, and if the light is too strong, it will also lead to problems with plant leaves. At this time, it is necessary to move the plant to another location in time, and through sprinkling and other ways to replenish water for the leaves of the plant.

The above are the reasons and corresponding treatment measures for the leaf crimping or leaf withering of Rieger Begonia introduced by the pro-agricultural network. We can see that most of the problems in Rieger Begonia leaves are caused by inadequate maintenance. It can be seen that before we plant any kind of plant, we need to understand its growth habits and maintenance methods, so that we can raise the plant well and healthily!
