Rieger Begonia, also known as Rieger Begonia, Rose Begonia and Lijia Begonia, is a bulbous flower variety and also a plant of Begonia in Begoniaceae. Its stems and leaves are fleshy, creeping and extremely short, and the leaves are all drawn from the roots. Most of the leaves have gorgeous iridescence or stripes, which are very beautiful. So, what about the flower branches of Rieger Begonia after flowering? I think we should do the following management well.

First, shaping and pruning. In the process of growth and development, it is necessary to pick the heart, make the branches grow lateral branches, achieve full and round plant type, and remove the redundant buds in time to concentrate nutrition and make the preserved buds bloom more brightly! After the flowering of Rieger Begonia, it is necessary to trim the residual flowers and leaves in time, remove the old leaves, diseased leaves and yellow leaves at the bottom, and use thin bamboo poles or other materials as support to hold the stems to prevent lodging.

Followed by water and fertilizer. Rieger begonia likes to be wet, and the soil in the basin should be wet. If it is too dry, the leaves will lose water and wither. But it should not be too wet, which will cause serious hypoxia in the soil, hinder root respiration and cause branch death. Therefore, watering Rieger Begonia depends on the dry and wet conditions and climatic conditions of the basin soil. Generally don't do it or water it, but water it thoroughly.

Fertilization after flowering is very important. Because the flowering period of Rieger Begonia is long, it usually blooms in June 165438+ 10 every year until the end of May of the following year. After flowering, the nutrients in the basin soil are exhausted, so it needs to be replenished in time to make it grow better and save enough energy for the next flowering. Because the stems and leaves of Rieger Begonia are juicy, fertilization should not be too thick. Root fertilization should adhere to the principle of thin fertilizer and diligent application. Generally, it is better to apply dilute compound fertilizer solution of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium every 10 ~ 15 days.

Third, keep warm and moist. Rieger begonia has strict requirements on the air humidity of its growing environment. After flowering, you should often spray water on the leaves, or put a fish tank or basin of water next to the branches to provide a small range of humidity around the flowerpot to facilitate its growth. The optimum temperature for the growth of Rieger Begonia is 15 ~ 32℃, and attention should be paid to heat preservation in winter, and the lowest temperature should not be lower than 10℃.
