1、 Breeding environment

1. Watering: Iron Begonia has certain drought tolerance, so the cultivation soil can not be too wet, otherwise it will rot roots and hinder its growth. In particular, less watering is required during flowering, which will cause flower falling

2. Temperature: it is better to give it a growth environment of 15-20 ℃. Relatively speaking, it is afraid of cold, and the breeding temperature should not be lower than 10 ℃. If the temperature is lower than 0 ℃ during the winter, it will be frostbitten and may die

3. Fertilization: fertilizer should be applied every 15-20 days during plant growth. The amount of fertilizer applied should not be too much, especially the amount of nitrogen fertilizer should be strictly controlled. If it is too much, it is easy to grow in vain. During the period of plant bud pregnancy, phosphorus and potassium fertilizer should be applied 1-2 times to help it bloom

4. Light: it is suitable for growing in an environment with sufficient light intensity. It cannot be placed in a dark place for a long time, which will seriously affect its flowering. In midsummer, you should pay attention to shade, otherwise you will burn the plant

2、 Breeding method

Most of them are carried out by cutting. The substrate after disinfection should be prepared in advance, and the best one should be selected in the growth period. Cut the branches with 3-4 leaf nodes, apply an appropriate amount of plant ash at the position of the incision, and then put it in the shade to dry. When the incision becomes dry, insert it into the matrix, pour water once, and wait for about 2 months to take root
