Reiger Begonia

Plant Type: Blooming Plants

Reiger begonias are very popular for their bloom clusters. They are an ideal house plant in that they prefer moderate temperatures and thrive on bright indirect light.

Growing and Maintenance Tips:

* Reiger Begonias prefer moderate temperature day and night. Temperatures need to remain in the 60-75 degree range. * Reiger Begonias require bright indirect light to florish. * Let plants dry slightly before watering to just moistened soil. * Once blooms are finished, cut back to several inches above soil. Store in a cool location with medium light. Keep on the dry side until new growth begins. Then repot and fertilize to promote new growth.
