How to Prune Iron Cross Begonia?
(Begonia masoniana)
Iron Cross Begonia, also known as Iron Cross Begonia
Characterized by its striking patterned foliage with a cruciform center, iron Cross Begonia requires careful pruning to maintain size and encourage bushy growth. Pinch off the tips of new stems and remove any yellowed or dead leaves regularly. The ideal period for shaping iron Cross Begonia extends from early spring to late fall. Pruning enhances air circulation, reduces disease risk, and stimulates vibrant new foliage. Always use sterile equipment to prevent the spread of pathogens.
