Begonia Care
Light
Bright, indirect light. Leaves will burn & dry out if placed in direct sun. Also, one more thing to note, if your begonia is placed in medium light, it may become leggy as it stretches to reach sunlight.
Humidity
Begonias are just fine in regular home humidity, but will love the extra humidity if offered.
Toxicity
This is a toxic plant and is NOT pet-friendly.
Water
Water your plant when the top few inches become dry, until water comes out the bottom drainage hole. Do not let your begonia sit in water as they are prone to root rot.
Fertilizer
Use a houseplant fertilizer one time per month in the spring & summertime diluted to half the recommended strength.
Temperature
60-80 degrees and you're good to go!
