LIGHT REQUIREMENT

• Most begonias grow best in part shade (4 to 6 hours of direct morning sun a day), or filtered sun (as through trees).
• Most will tolerate full shade (no direct or filtered sun), but won't be as dense and usually have fewer flowers.

WATER REQUIREMENT

• The main rule of thumb for watering begonias is to not let the soil dry out completely.
• Stick your finger into the soil, and if it dry to your first knuckle, it's time to water.
