-
Light: Bright, indirect light is best. Too much direct sunlight can scorch the leaves, while too little can hinder growth and cause leaf drop.
-
Water: Water the plant when the top few inches of the soil feels dry. It’s crucial to avoid overwatering, which can lead to root rot. Ensure that excess water drains out of the pot.
-
Humidity: Begonia Cracklin Rosie thrives in high humidity (around 50-70%). If your environment is dry, consider using a humidifier or placing a tray of water with pebbles beneath the pot.
-
Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix.
-
Fertilizer: Fertilize every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer diluted to half strength. Reduce feeding in the fall and winter months.
-
Pruning: Regularly remove any dead or yellowing leaves to promote healthy growth and air circulation. You can also pinch back the tips to encourage bushier growth.
