Thought we would start the week with a begonia check up. Many of us fell in love with Dotty over the warmer months and for some it was the first begonia you have taken home. In mid climates these begonias will thrive all year round, in cold coastal Gippsland I know some of you are experiencing some challenges with leaf loss and powdery mildew.
Begonias are susceptible to fungal problems which is why when you purchased one from Greener Life that was to live in Gippsland we would have explained that you don’t mist spray the leaves of begonias, they don’t like to live in bathrooms as the humidity can encourage mildew growth in cooler weather and its best to water as they dry out a little, keeping them on the dryer side in winter.
Awesome - you are all signed up :-) - Monique
