Watering                                             Begonia rex should be watered when the soil or pot feels dry, but do not wait until the plant starts to wilt. You can cut back on water during                                                                  their dormant period in the winter, watering only when the pot dries out.

Temperature                                      Prefers plenty of indirect sunlight and room temperatures at 65-70 degress.

Fertilizer                                             You can feed your potted plants monthly with any good houseplant food. Too much food will make for a scraggly plant, so pay attention and                                                                adjust the feeding to suit your variety. Rex begonias can be temperamental and you just have to find the right conditions and balance for your                                                              plant. Do not feed at all during the winter.

Planting & Care :-

Begonias arent the easiest plants to make happy. They can be very demanding of just the right amount of water, food and humidity.

Plants will vary and the only way to know what your plant wants is to watch it, once it has adjusted to its new surrounding.

If its flourishing, continue with what you were doing.

If it is droopy or gangly, adjust the light and water.

Eventually, you ll figure out the right balance.

Repotting rex begonias each spring will ensure that they have plenty of soil to grow in, but they like to be a little bit pot bound. Large or gangly plants can be pruned into shape.

Rotating potted rex begonias will keep the plants full and stocky.

• Soil

Begonias prefer a light, rich soil. When planting directly in the ground, a moist, well-drained location is optimal and mulch will keep the roots shaded. In pots, make sure to provide drainage holes. A peat-based potting mix is ideal for containers.
