Begonia Emptying is strongly loved by flowers due to its grace, compactness, modesty in care, and abundant exotic flowering throughout the year. Scarlet, Baggon and White Begonia buds are dismissed without delay, which served as the cause of such a name of culture. But how to grow and multiply this sophisticated flower on the windowsill, and what are the requirements of the Begonia Emerging?
Botanical Features of Begonia Emerctive
Begonia's discoverer, which made a botanical description of the kind, became Charles Plumia. He was a monk who traveled actively with the aim of collecting and studying wild cultures. In the middle of the XVII century, he arrived at the Antilles, where he met this magnificent blooming fragrant flower. The name of the culture was assigned in honor of Governor Haiti - Begona.
Motherland Begonias consider the western part of Africa. There is a hypothesis that, from this hot country, Begonia moved to America and Asia. However, even today in Africa, a third is actively blooming from the entire variety of types of begonias.
Begonia Emerctive or BEGONIA Semperflorens is the largest representative of the Begonian family. Rod has more than 1000 subspecies, the natural range of growth of which are mountain slopes, tropical forests and subtropics. Mostly begonias are found in the southern strip of America. But a lot of species grows in the mountains of India, the Malay archipelago, as well as in the Himalayas.
Given the enormous popularity of Begonias in home flower growing, almost 2 thousand hybrid species and varieties were displayed. They differ among themselves form, color of inflorescences and leaves.
The general distinctive features of the genus of eternal begonias are considered as follows:
- Begonia is a mid-grade bush culture with straight shoots that can grow up to 55-60 cm in height.
- Adult plants are slightly modified, and straight shoots acquire an ampel form.
- Flowers of the begonias of the eternal-drying can be large or medium. The diameter of the revealed bud 2.5-5 cm.
- The leaves of the begonia of the ever-flowing round shape, weakly-minded around the perimeter. The magnitude of each sheet varies from 4 to 6 cm, the color can be different - light or dark green, less often with a red tide.

Begonia Emerctive: Home Care
This is a plant, although it fell to us from rainforest and mountainous locations, perfectly adjusted for a new climate. Begonia is undemanding in care and care always meets long blossom. But this culture is very wayward and loves constancy in living conditions. Therefore, it is necessary to think over everything to the smallest detail until the begonias landing into a new pot and ensure comfortable climatic conditions at home.
Optimal conditions for Begonia Emerctive at home
Begonia is one of those plants that do not stand the frequency change of the area of \u200b\u200bthe vase in which they grow. Therefore, once and forever choose a place where we set up a new flower - a light and spacious window sill with an eastern or west side, but without direct sunlight. Comfortable air temperature for begonia - 18⁰s and more, and both in summer and in winter.
The tropical origin of Begonias led its need for high humidity. But abundant spraying of the plant can spoil the decorativeness of foliage - it will cover brown stains. The best way out of the situation will create an artificial source of moisture. To do this, in the empty pallet put another, but inverted upside down a little smaller size. Then to put a pot with begonia on top. Circle the inverted pallet scatter a little clay and constantly moisturize it. The evaporating water will serve as a source of moisture for begonias. Or you can simply install the houses an electric air humidifier near Begonias.
An important nuance in choosing a place for begonias of an eternal room - sufficient space. The flower does not like close neighborhood, so you need to provide him with a lot of free space on the windowsill.
Begonia needs a constant influx of fresh air, but the ventilation must pass without the presence of an open draft and a sharp temperature difference. For such conditions, Begonia will immediately reset the leaves and fading inflorescences.
Suitable soil and pot for Begonia Emerctive at home
Begonia is well rooted, increasing the foliage and fully flowers only in a suitable pot. For Benging, you need to choose only ceramic containers that provide soil microcirculation. The diameter of the vase is needed by 3 or 4 cm more than the root tube of the plant. If the rompa is wider, the soil will be rejected and bloom will be small, short or not coming at all.
Soil with optimal composition for begonias is better to purchase ready. In flower shops there is an excellent choice of soils for such plants. But you can make it and at home: two parts of the leaf land and part of peat, humus and sand.
Since the rhizome of begonias has surface accommodation, the soil must be very light, porous. A suitable pH for begonia should be weakly acid (from 5.5 to 6.5). Express alkali in the soil will contribute to the development of disease.

The need for another watering is checked according to the degree of bread debris: when it dries to a depth of 1.5 cm, you need to pour begonia again. In winter, watering is doubled by halving, while increasing the level of air humidity, especially if the pot stands near the heating devices.
Important! Begonia can only watered with an estate and warm to room temperature with water.

Water seeds through the pallet or irrigation with the pulverizer as the soil drying. When shoots will be processed, the shelter is cleaned, and after the formation of three full-fledged leaves, they conduct a pickup.

Sometimes the deterioration of the appearance of the begonia is caused by non-bacteria or pests, but the wrong leaving for it. If the plant began to suddenly dry without signs of the disease, most likely, the apartment is too hot and Begonia suffers from moisture deficit. Changing the problem can be adjusted by watering mode.
