This type of begonia will delight you with gorgeous large flowers (like a rose), painted in white, red, or yellow. It is best to grow large-flowered begonias in partial shade or in the sun, but without direct sunlight.

It is important to know that begonias do not tolerate large temperature fluctuations, as well as very high temperatures. To enjoy this wonderful large-flowering species for a long time, it is necessary to provide a place that is protected from drafts. Always water with filtered water if possible and be careful not to wet the leaves and flowers (wetting the leaves and flowers increases the risk of developing fungal diseases).

To protect the plant from stagnant water, which it does not tolerate, when sowing the seeds of large-flowered begonia, make good drainage of the soil, for example, with small and larger stones in the pot. It is also good for the soil to be loose and the humidity to be higher.

As for pests, you need to protect the beautiful flower especially from aphids, which attack begonias most often, due to the use of soil substrate that is not dewormed. We recommend that you use a universal soil substrate with a guaranteed origin for the best results.

The other most common diseases on begonias are powdery mildew (appearance of gray deposits on the leaves and buds) and gray rot (appearance of dry spots on the leaves). At the first signs of some of these diseases, take immediate action by treating diseased plants with appropriate plant protection products. Apart from seeds, begonias can also be grown from cuttings.
