Watering Techniques for Wax Begonia: Blooms Cluster After Cluster

Wax begonia (Begonia semperflorens) has extremely high ornamental value. If you want the plant to grow well and bloom abundantly, you need to master the watering method during care. How often should wax begonia be watered? How should you water it? Let me walk you through it below.

Watering techniques for wax begonia:

(1). Watering wax begonia should be adjusted according to different climates, and watering should follow the principle of not watering until the soil is dry, and watering thoroughly when you do water.

(2). Wax begonia is generally watered in the morning, and the best watering time is around 9 a.m. If you water in the evening, the plant cannot carry out photosynthesis, which is not good for the plant's absorption of nutrients, and the water will remain at the roots, making root rot likely.

(3). During the seedling stage of wax begonia, reduce the frequency of watering and keep the soil on the dry side. Being in a damp environment for a long time can easily lead to root rot.

(4). During the growing season, the plant has a high demand for water, so water generally once every 2 days. You need to frequently spray water around the wax begonia to increase air humidity, which allows the wax begonia to grow better.

(5). When watering, never water too much and cause waterlogging, as the roots will have difficulty breathing, which is not good for plant growth. When watering, do not pour water onto the flowers and leaves, as rot can easily occur.
