How to Grow and Care for Tuberous begonia

Tuberous begonia, also known as Begonia Tuberosa, Hybrid Begonia, Bedding Begonia, Tuberhybrida begonia, Showy begonia

Tuberous begonia requires attentive care to thrive. It prefers a well-draining soil, high humidity, and must be protected from direct sunlight to avoid leaf burn. Overwatering is a common issue, so ensure the soil is moist but not soggy. Regular deadheading of spent flowers promotes further blooming. Its sensitivity to temperature, humidity, and watering makes tuberous begonia a more challenging plant to maintain in optimal condition.
