Begonia Lidi is a specific cultivar of Begonia that is known for its beautiful, silvery foliage. Like most begonias, it’s a popular houseplant due to its striking appearance. While the general care for begonias is similar, there are a few specific tips to keep in mind for this particular type.
Here’s a comprehensive guide care for a Begonia Lidi :
Light
- Bright, indirect light is key. Begonia ‘Lidi’ will thrive in a spot where it receives plenty of natural light but is protected from direct sun, which can scorch its leaves.
- An east-facing window that gets gentle morning sun, or a few feet back from a south- or west-facing window, is a good choice.
- If the light is too low, the plant’s growth may become leggy and the silvery color on the leaves might not be as pronounced.
Watering
- Begonias do not like to have “wet feet,” which can easily lead to root rot.
- Allow the top few inches of soil to dry out almost completely before watering again.
- When you do water, do so thoroughly, making sure water drains out of the bottom of the pot.
- Never let the pot sit in a saucer of standing water. This is a surefire way to cause root rot.
Humidity and Temperature
- As a tropical plant, Begonia ‘Lidi’ appreciates higher humidity levels. A humidity range of 40-60% is generally good.
- You can increase humidity by using a humidifier, placing the plant on a pebble tray, or grouping it with other plants. Avoid misting the leaves, as this can sometimes lead to fungal issues.
- Maintain a consistent room temperature between 65-80°F (18-27°C). Avoid cold drafts and sudden temperature fluctuations.
Soil and Fertilizer
- Use a well-draining, lightweight potting mix. A mix of potting soil, perlite, and a bit of peat moss or coco coir will provide the aeration and moisture retention that begonias need.
- Feed the plant with a balanced liquid fertilizer once a month during the growing season (spring and summer).
- Reduce or stop fertilizing during the fall and winter when the plant’s growth slows down.
Other Care Tips
- Propagation: Like many rhizomatous begonias, ‘Lidi’ can be propagated by taking stem cuttings or by dividing the rhizomes.
- Pruning: Prune away any yellowing or dead leaves and spent flowers to encourage new growth and keep the plant looking its best.
- Pests: Keep an eye out for common houseplant pests like spider mites and mealybugs, which can sometimes affect begonias.
- Toxicity: Be aware that begonias are toxic to cats and dogs if ingested, so keep them out of reach of pets.
