New begonia

Hi all I just got a begonia plant the reason I bought it was because despite it not looking so good I thought it was a pretty plant it had been reduced to 88p lol I have given it a little trim to get rid of the dead bits but would just like some more info on the plant

 

Well, that looks healthy and raring to go. I would keep it out of the exposed part of the garden with a few hours of sunlight - so more South East if possible. It would probably appreciate a weak feed of something like Tomorite but don't let it get water logged. A pretty lemon colour isn't it,

Its in the house at the minute is that ok

 

Yes, that's fine too,
Jenny

 

Thanks for your help like I say I bought it because it was pretty and very cheap and looking a little sorry for itself

 

It will thank you for rescuing it from neglect and should produce many fine blooms. Would love to see a piccie in a month's time - once it's settled in Gillybean,
Jenny

 

I will post one for you in about a month for you jenny and thanks again for your help

Your Begonia is a house plant Begonia Elatior and is ideal for a bright window sill. It has small split canes for supporting the branches. As Jenny said, they can have a weekly (tomato) feed to encourage flowering. It would be ok outside while the nights are warm but I think they are best appreciated as an indoor plant.
