| Begonia Elatior when purchased - September 2010 |
Type: Annual
Light: Some Morning Sun, Filtered Sun, Shade
Moisture: Needs frequent water and should not be left to dry out.
Soil: Slightly Acidic - I used common peat.
Disease: Powdery Mildew (a fungal disease that causes white powdery patches on the leaves) - Spray with Fungicide
Care: Begonias like attention. Remove dead flowers, leaves, and stems. Trim off long stems to help retain it's compact shape. A little care will pay you back with lusher foliage and more blooms. Add a general purpose fertilizer once a month. For houseplants and container plants, give them a dose of liquid fertilizer once a month instead dry fertilizer.
