Begonia 'Black Velvet'

Begonias are highly prized plants for their decorative leaves and delicate flowers. In general, these plants are relatively easy to care for, but they need certain conditions to thrive. Here are some tips:

1. Humidity: Begonias prefer high humidity. Make sure that you provide the plant with a moist environment, but do not water it directly on the leaves, to avoid the formation of spots or fungal diseases.

2. Temperature: Begonias prefer a moderate temperature, around 20-22°C. If the temperature is too low, the leaves may start to fall.

3. Light: Begonias prefer indirect light, not full sun exposure. Direct sunlight can burn the leaves, and too little light can lead to yellowing of the leaves.

4. Watering: Begonias must be watered regularly, but not excessively. The soil must always be moist, but it must not be full of water.

5. Nutrition: Begonias can benefit from fertilization with a fertilizer for green plants, with a high nitrogen content.

6. Check the leaves regularly for signs of disease or insect damage. If you notice problems, treat the plant with an appropriate insecticide or fungicide.
