Basic management

Soil: Loose and breathable sand is the best soil for breeding begonia, and it doesn't have to be sand, but it can be the same as other succulents.

Environment: Begonia should be kept in a sunny environment. If it is newly planted, it can be planted slowly in a cool and ventilated place.

Water: Begonia does not need to keep the soil moist for a long time, but it needs to keep the soil dry and water it properly. This kind of begonia is drought-resistant and not easy to die, but it is easy to rot its roots due to accumulated water.

Root-knot nematodiasis often occurs when the humidity of potted begonia is too high, which can be controlled by 3% carbofuran granules. Insect pests do great harm to scale insects, and 55% chlorpyrifos EC 1500 times can be sprayed.
