A perennial plant grown as an annual or houseplant. The bush is compact. Leaves are shiny bronze. Bright large flowers (3 cm in diameter) are located above the leaves and make a beautiful contrast with the bronze leaves. Blooms 10-11 weeks after germination. Prefers moist nutrient soils in partial shade or full sun. The pelleted seeds of this mixture have an increased germination capacity; they are sown for seedlings from January to March, without embedding, on carefully leveled soil. Crops are covered with glass, placed in a bright, warm place, and often sprayed with water before germination. At a temperature of 24-26°C shoots appear in 8-12 days. The glass is first raised, and after a few days it is completely removed. Seedlings dive at the stage of 2 true leaves. A month later, a second pick is carried out. During the growth period, seedlings must be fed with complex fertilizers every 10 days. They are planted in the ground in early June, when the threat of frost has passed. For abundant flowering, fertilizing with complex fertilizers is necessary once every 2 weeks, and in dry weather, regular watering.
Begonias are widely used to decorate flowerbeds, flowerbeds and containers. The special value of this culture lies in the fact that it perfectly tolerates shading, it can be used to decorate the northern sides of buildings, shady courtyards and gardens.
