relevance

From the moment of budding to the end of flowering, it is better not to rotate the bushes and displace them in relation to the light source, not to transfer them to a new place or to new rooms.

Stem base strength: Very strong.

At the end of the flowering season stop watering and cut off shoots.

The more stable the environment, the more abundant and longer the bloom of the elators.

Some round, others oblong, twisted like a shell or oblique-heart.

I find it works well for anchoring roots, feeding the plant and for drainage and for me that is a three-part win! A well drained, rich potting mix with plenty of well rotted organic matter added is ideal, though an African Violet formulated mix is also god.

If it is possible to control temperatures more strictly, you can use the secret for flowering Elatior begonias as long as possible: increase temperatures by at least 3-4 degrees at the budding stage and lower them to cool at the flowering stage.

Harden off and plant out once risk of frost has passed.
