By Geraldine Marquardt: I have purchased a beautiful begonia, however I'm not sure of the type of care it requires. I live in Ontario canada and my home faces south. Does this flower require a lot of light, water. I was told that there is also a rest period for this flower. How do I know when this is happening? Yellow leaves or what? Please help me keep this beautiful plant
Answer By The Flower Expert: There is a dormant period or rest period in winter.
They like warmth and humidity, but too much moisture will cause rotting
Some varieties need a bit of more sunlight than others.
Begonias can be put indoors but need good light conditions.
There are 3 types of begonias.
Fibrous rooted begonias, Rhizomatous begonias, Tuberous begonias which are are Winter-blooming.
These tuberous begonias like cool temperatures and moist, but not wet soil.
Dying up of foliage is the indication for rest period in begonias.
