Begonias (Begonia) are actually easy to care for! Just follow these steps:

1. Light: Provide bright, indirect light or very gentle direct sunlight. Avoid harsh, strong sunlight.

2. Watering & Humidity: Begonias love high humidity and need consistently moist soil.

   • The soil should not be too dry, but also shouldn’t stay waterlogged for long periods.
   • Water when the top layer of soil feels slightly dry to the touch. If your finger still feels moisture, wait before watering.
   • To maintain stable moisture, you can use a double-pot method. To prevent water from collecting at the bottom, place some pebbles between the inner pot and the outer pot. Alternatively, use a taller outer pot so the inner pot is slightly suspended.

3. Soil: Use a well-aerated, fast-draining soil mix. Water should be able to flow through the soil quickly to prevent root rot.

4. Fertilizing: Feed once a month with a balanced general-purpose fertilizer.

5. Temperature: Begonias prefer warm conditions, with an ideal temperature range of 18°C to 24°C. In winter, avoid temperatures dropping below 15°C to prevent cold damage.

If you follow these steps, your begonia should grow beautifully—give it a try!

秋海棠其实很容易养，只需做到这些：

1）光线：明亮的散射光，或者很温和的直射阳光，避免猛烈的阳光
2）浇水和湿度：秋海棠喜欢很高的空气湿度，需要土壤保持稳定的湿润。
土壤不能太干燥，也不能长期积水。当表层土壤摸起来湿气很少时就要浇水，如果摸起来手指是湿的就不要浇水。
为了让盆土达到稳定的湿润，可以给花盆一个套盆，为了避免底部积水，可以在套盆和花盆之间放置一些石子，也可以采取较高的套盆，让花盆悬空在套盆的上半部分。
3）土壤：使用疏松透气的土壤，也就是把水浇到土里后，水能很快从土壤里流出去，不会出现积水烂根。
4）施肥：每月施肥一次，使用营养均衡的通用肥。
5）温度: 喜欢温暖的环境，最佳生长温度为18°C至24°C。冬季要避免温度低于15°C，以防止受冻。

能做到这些，你的秋海棠应该能长得很好的，试试吧！
