Care Tips
To ensure your Dragon Wing® Red Begonia thrives and remains healthy, follow these care tips:
1. Lighting Requirements
Dragon Wing® Red Begonias appreciate partial shade to full sun. In regions with extreme heat, provide them with some afternoon shade to prevent leaf scorching. Find a spot in your garden that receives morning or evening sun with some filtered sunlight throughout the day.
2. Watering and Soil Conditions
These begonias prefer well-draining soil that retains some moisture. Water regularly, allowing the soil to dry slightly between watering sessions. Avoid overwatering, as it can lead to root rot. Mulching around the base of the plant will help retain soil moisture.
3. Fertilization
For optimal growth, fertilize Dragon Wing® Red Begonias every 4-6 weeks during the growing season. Use a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer according to the package instructions. Overfertilization can result in excessive foliage growth with fewer blooms, so follow the recommended dosage.
4. Pruning
To maintain a neat and compact appearance, regular pruning is necessary. Remove any dead or damaged branches, as well as spent flowers. Pinching back the stems encourages bushier growth and more abundant flowering.
