Caring Tips for Begonia (Watermelon):

  1. Light: Place your Begonia in a bright location with indirect light. Too much direct sunlight can cause leaf burn, while too little light can lead to leggy growth.

  2. Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, but not waterlogged. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. Avoid overwatering, as this plant is prone to root rot.

  5. Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix. A peat-based soil mix is ideal, ensuring the roots stay healthy and prevent water retention.

  6. Fertilizer: Feed your plant with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer once a month during the growing season (spring and summer) for optimal growth.
