The root system of Jinxiu begonia is shallow, and its ability to absorb water and fertilizer is weak, so it is generally planted in places with fertile soil, loose soil layer and adequate water supply. Attention should be paid to the management of water and fertilizer after planting, and weeds can be covered after planting. According to the weather conditions, the soil should be drenched every 10 days or so to keep the soil moist.
