Begonia bonsai is deeply loved by people. In the Dream of Red Mansions, a group of sisters in Daguan Garden once married the Begonia Society and sang poems about the beauty of crabapple flowers. But when you are faced with a pot of beautiful crabapple flowers, will you worry because you don't know how to raise them? The following points may be helpful to you.

1. Soil

If the soil is loose and alkaline, crabapple flowers need relatively loose soil and need to contain some alkalinity. The ph value of the soil is not less than 7. You can add 1/3 river sand to the soil at the bottom of the flower bed or tree. The depth planted in the pot should not be too deep, so that the root system can be well extended, and it is better to load it at a depth of 12 cm from the bottom of the basin, but it depends on the size of the plant.

2. Lighting

Begonia likes sufficient light, can not bear shade, so it needs to be placed in places with sufficient light, such as balcony, window and so on. At noon in summer, the sun is hot and needs proper shade to prevent flowers and leaves from being burned. At the same time, you should often turn the direction of the flowerpot so that it does not grow askew in a direction of light.

3. Ventilation

It should be placed in a ventilated place. Begonia can be placed in a ventilated place such as the courtyard or balcony. Begonia is more hardy, so it can be kept outside in winter, but if it is particularly cold, some anti-freezing measures should be taken.

4. Moisture

Water is the source of all things, and the growth of begonia is inseparable from water. Watering to keep the basin soil moist is better, specific watering should depend on the weather, should keep the basin soil moist, but not stagnant water, it is best not to be caught in the rain, lest too much water lead to rotten roots, do not water when too cold. The potted soil should not be too dry during the growing period of spring and summer, especially during flowering.

5. Fertilization

Begonia bonsai should be fully fertilized in winter, and dry cake fertilizer or rotten barnyard manure and bone meal are the best. During the growth period, thin fertilizer and water are often applied except for the rainy season. Fertilizer is essential to make crabapple flowers bloom brightly. In the spring bud sprouting, it is necessary to apply some organic fertilizer to replenish nutrients and water once. Apply organic fertilizer when falling leaves in autumn, also cooperate with watering once, apply phosphorus and potassium fertilizer after flower fade, you can buy some special fertilizer for begonia every day, and fertilize properly according to the instructions.

6. Pruning

Pruning branches and leaves in early spring, in order to ensure that the plant can blossom vigorously, pruning branches and leaves should be carried out from defoliation to sprouting in early spring, which can subtract weak branches, branches and leaves of diseases and insect pests, individual longer branches and leaves, overdense branches and leaves, and vertical pruning of sparse branches to promote its multiple lateral branches.

7. Turn the basin

It is appropriate to turn the potted crabapple bonsai every 2-3 years, preferably after flowering in spring or autumn. When turning the basin, the root system should be trimmed and the base fertilizer should be put at the bottom of the basin.

8. Pest control

Begonia has many diseases and insect pests, such as red spot, leaf spot, coal pollution, etc., which can be controlled by spraying Baume 0.5 degree stone sulfur mixture; the main insect pests are aphids, shell insects, red spiders, longicorn beetles, and so on. 1200 dichlorvos solution can be used to control aphids, longicorn beetle eggs and shell insects, and Baume 0.5 degree stone sulfur mixture plus a small amount of acarone can be used to control red spiders.

2, daily watering is not too much, so that the basin soil can be moist, so as not to cause rotten roots.
