秋海棠 Begonia sp. ( Red & Green )

Given some humidity and filtered light begonia masoniana is not difficult grow. it is best watered below the foliage to prevent spotting and mildew and can be fertilised with a diluted liquid fertiliser every 4 weeks while in active growth.   watering needs to carried out once the top part of the soil begins to dry a little. the temperature should not fall below 13C (50F) or the plant will suffer.
