BEGONIA CARE – WTF EDITION 03 October 2025 BEGONIA CARE – WTF EDITION 💦 Watering: Keep it moist, darling – not soaking like a drowned rat. Let the top inch of soil dry before you water again. Think “slightly thirsty diva,” not “mud bath swamp monster.” ☀️ Light: They like it bright but not direct sunlight. Put them somewhere with filtered light so they can glow without getting a crispy tan. 🌡 Temperature: Begonias don’t do drama with the cold. Keep them cozy at 18–24°C. If you wouldn’t sit there in your knickers, your begonia won’t either. 🌬 Humidity: These babes love a bit of moisture in the air. Mist around them (not straight on the leaves, unless you fancy rot), or shove them near a humidifier. 🌱 Feeding: Give them a little plant food every 2–4 weeks in growing season. Basically, a cheeky cocktail now and then keeps them strutting. ✂️ Pruning: Got leggy stems? Snip, snip, darling! They’ll bush out again and look fabulous. Dead leaves? Off with their heads. 🚫 WTF NOT TO DO: Don’t let them sit in soggy soil (root rot = plant murder). Don’t bake them in direct sun. Don’t ghost them for weeks – they will throw shade (literally, by dying).
