How to raise the newly bought Rieger Begonia

Rieger crabapple has a very long flowering period, rich colors and beautiful flowering. If it is well maintained and managed, it can blossom all the year round. If we want the newly bought potted Rieger begonia to survive smoothly and grow vigorously and blossom better, we need to master certain planting methods and skills. So, how to raise the newly bought Rieger Begonia?

If you choose to plant Rieger crabapple at home, it is generally not recommended to start in summer, because the summer temperature is high, the weather is hot, and the light is strong, so it is more difficult and risky to transplant potted crabapple. The plant is not easy to survive. And it is very easy to cause the phenomenon of stuffy culture, which is not only easy to let the root rot, but also the plant itself is relatively fragile, which is disadvantageous to its growth.

For Rieger Begonia, it is generally suitable to buy seedlings and transplant them in spring, and to pot them after February in spring. After transplanting, it is necessary to do a good job of maintenance and management at the slow seedling stage in time, and new buds will sprout after the plant survives normally. At that time, we will be able to cut off and clean up all the dead leaves on the plant. But it should be noted that the leaves of Rieger Begonia are relatively large, if only one side is dry, you only need to cut off the dry part, do not cut off the whole leaf, otherwise it is easy to weaken photosynthesis, thus affecting the growth of the plant.

So why wait for Rieger Begonia to survive transplanting before pruning? The originality is mainly due to the fact that the plant is very fragile before the basin survives, and it is easy to be hurt if it is pruned too early, thus affecting the survival of the basin. Cutting off the dry part of the leaf in time after survival can not only prevent it from wasting nutrients, but also prevent it from spreading or spreading to other normal leaves.

If it is indoor maintenance in winter, the indoor temperature should be slightly raised, after all, its cold resistance is not very strong, or even afraid of the cold. But Rieger crabapple, like flowers and plants such as geraniums, is usually very afraid of hot sun exposure, and its most suitable growth temperature is between 18 °C and 25 °C. In the hot summer season, if the light is not enough, it is more likely to grow, but if given too strong light, the leaves are more likely to be sunburned. Because its leaf edge is relatively thin, it is easy to dry because of the light.

If the potted Rieger crabapple pulls out a lot of new leaves from the branches, and flowers have already bloomed at the top of the branches, we should pay more attention to controlling the light, except for timely and appropriate shade in summer. Spring, autumn and winter can provide it with full sunshine, after all, the sun intensity is small in these three seasons, and burns generally do not occur. Usually, you only need to put it in a place where scattered light can be received for maintenance.

From October of the first year to April of the next year, we should provide it with sufficient light, even if it does not matter to receive all-day sunlight, but the effect of photosynthesis is better under long-term light with low intensity. this is often more beneficial to the normal growth and flowering of the plant.

As for watering, it is generally necessary to wait until the basin soil becomes dry before watering in time. But at the same time, it is more afraid of waterlogging, if too much watering causes stagnant water in the basin or the basin soil is too wet for a long time, it is also relatively easy to rot roots. To water Rieger crabapple, generally adhere to the principle of "do not dry or dry or water thoroughly", so that the plant will not have bad symptoms due to improper watering.
