Maintain temperatures between 65-75°F (18-24°C).

Soil

Use a well-draining, peat-based potting mix.

Fertilizer

Feed bi-weekly with a diluted liquid fertilizer during the growing season.

Toxicity

Begonias are toxic to pets and humans if ingested, causing oral irritation and vomiting.

Propagation

Easily propagated from stem or leaf cuttings placed in moist soil or water. Leaf cuttings can be particularly successful.
