How much water do ‘Nonstop’® begonias need?
Keep the plants on the dry side. Make sure to avoid water logging to ensure untroubled masses of flowers. What is optimum feeding? Starting around 2 weeks after planting, apply an propriety multiple fertilizer at 1.5 ml (0.0528 fluid ounces) per liter (1.0567 quarts) of water weekly or biweekly. Working in a slow-release fertilizer at the time of planting is a good alternative. The nutrients are provided to the plants as needed without you having to take any additional action. Repeat the slow-release fertilizer application after a period of 3 months. Do ‘Nonstop’® begonias require any deadheading? Deadheading is not necessary because the plants shed flowers as they fade, replacing them with new flowers. Is it possible to change the habit? ‘Nonstop’® has a naturally well-branched habit. If the plants produce excessively long shoots and get congested, the central shoot may be removed to improve the plant habit. The plants will then develop a more rounded habit covered by a mass of flower
