1. Light adjustment

When cultivating bamboo begonias, you must pay attention to the regulation of light. This plant likes light but is afraid of the sun. You can usually cultivate it on the balcony. In spring, summer and autumn, you can let it receive sufficient sunlight, but after entering summer, you must move it to a cool environment, otherwise the light will be too strong and its leaves will turn yellow.

2. Fertilization time

When cultivating bamboo begonias, special attention should be paid to the time of fertilization. It is best to choose spring when it enters the peak growth season for fertilization. Fertilization can be applied every ten to fifteen days. It is best to choose a thin liquid fertilizer. Summer and winter are the slowest growing seasons for bamboo begonias, so fertilization can be stopped at this time. In addition, fertilizer should not be applied after bamboo begonias enter the flowering period, otherwise it will cause its flowers to wither quickly.

3. Pay attention to pruning

When cultivating bamboo begonias, you must also pay attention to pruning. Only in this way can you maintain its beautiful appearance. When the plant is too high or the leaves turn yellow, you must cut them off in time. In addition, the pruning of bamboo begonias can also be combined with repotting.
