Growing Tips:

• Temperature: The ideal growing temperature is between 20°C and 27°C. Temperatures above 27°C may stress the plant, so good ventilation is essential to alleviate the effects of heat.

• Light: Prefers indirect light and should be kept away from direct sunlight. It thrives in a bright environment without direct sun exposure.

• Watering: Keep the soil moist but avoid waterlogging. Over-watering can lead to root rot.

• Soil: Use well-draining soil rich in organic matter. A mix of peat moss and perlite is ideal for this plant.

• Fertilizing: During the growing season, apply diluted balanced liquid fertilizer once a month. Reduce the frequency of fertilization during the dormant period.

Care Tips:

As Begonia Amidalae has specific environmental needs, it is recommended to grow it in a controlled environment such as a greenhouse or a specialized plant box to ensure stable growing conditions. Also, avoid letting the leaves come into direct contact with glass surfaces to prevent possible damage.
