Begonias
(I)
Before
we begin with poting the Begonia, I am going to tell you about the
ideal conditions for this plant.
The soil
needs to have a porous texture so that it can easily access water
and air. It also needs plenty of room for its roots to grow. It is
essential that the plant has a high level of organic material in order
to give it its essential nutrients.
We will
show you how you can prepare the ideal soil for the Begonia:
You need
black soil, rubble and dead leaves or compost.
Now place
the rubble into the pot. You can buy rubble in a garden centre or
if you prefer, you can use sand.
Take one
part of the black earth (earth that is rich in organic components)
and place it into the pot. You can also buy the earth in a garden
centre.
And we
add two parts dead leaves or compost.
