A hybrid within the Begoniaceae family, this plant features lush green foliage with serrated edges, forming a compact, bushy habit.

Begonia Double Lady Francis Pink Care Guide

Light and Water

  • Light: Bright, indirect light (east-facing windows or dappled shade). Avoid direct sun to prevent leaf scorch.

  • Water: Keep soil consistently moist but not soggy. Water when the top 1 inch of soil dries. Reduce watering during dormancy (winter).

Soil and Fertilizing

  • Soil: Use a well-draining, peat-based mix with perlite or compost.

  • Fertilizer: Feed every 2-3 weeks with a balanced liquid fertilizer (10-10-10) during the growing season (spring to fall).

Temperature and Humidity

  • Temperature: 65-75°F (18-24°C). Protect from frost and temperatures below 50°F (10°C).

  • Humidity: Prefers 50-60% humidity. Avoid misting flowers to prevent rot.

Pruning, Propagating, and Repotting

  • Pruning: Deadhead spent blooms to encourage new flowers. Trim leggy stems for bushier growth.

  • Propagating: Divide tubers in early spring or take stem cuttings.

  • Repotting: Report annually after dormancy into a container 1-2 inches larger.


Begonia Double Lady Francis Pink: Common Problems

  • Powdery mildew: Improve airflow and avoid overhead watering.

  • Root rot: Caused by overwatering. Ensure pots have drainage holes.

  • Aphids or spider mites: Treat with neem oil or insecticidal soap.

  • Bud drop: Due to sudden temperature shifts or inconsistent watering.
