Planting & Care
1. Planting: The Criss Cross™ Begonia will grow best in a well-draining pot in a spot with medium to bright indirect light. Too much direct sunlight can lead to leaf scorch.
Begonias also prefer moderate humidity. You can supplement the humidity by placing them on a pebble tray with water or by clustering them together with other plants.
2. Watering: Water once a week, especially when first establishing. Be sure to water when the top inch of soil feels dry.
3. Fertilizing: Feed your Begonia once per month at half-strength when it is actively growing. Reduce the frequency of fertilization in the winter months. If no new leaves are growing, it does not need to be fertilized.
