Light:
Begonia Tamaya thrives in bright, indirect light but can adapt to a range of light conditions, from moderate to slightly lower light. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight, especially during midday, as it can scorch the leaves and hinder blooming.
Watering:
Water when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. Begonia Tamaya prefers a balance between moist and slightly dry soil; be careful not to overwater, as this can lead to root rot. In colder months, allow the soil to dry out a bit more between waterings as growth slows down.
Soil:
Use a well-draining potting mix that allows for good aeration. A standard indoor potting soil mixed with perlite or coarse sand works well to prevent waterlogging and promote root health.
Fertilizing:
During the growing months (spring and summer), fertilize with a balanced liquid fertilizer to support lush foliage and flowering. Avoid fertilizing in fall and winter when the plant’s growth naturally slows.
Repotting:
Repot every 1-2 years or when the plant becomes root-bound, moving to a pot that’s just 1-2 inches larger in diameter, Begonia does not needa big pot.
