Begonia fuchsioides

How to grow Begonia fuchsioides in NZ

Begonia fuchsioides grows well in NZ when planted in a warm, sheltered spot with filtered light or partial shade. It prefers fertile, free-draining soil kept consistently moist but not waterlogged. Protect from frost and cold winds, and feed regularly during the growing season to encourage lush foliage and abundant flowers.

Begonia fuchsioides care tips

Water Begonia fuchsioides regularly to keep the soil evenly moist, allowing the surface to dry slightly between waterings. Feed with a balanced liquid fertiliser every 4–6 weeks during active growth. Remove spent flowers and damaged leaves to promote fresh blooms. Protect from frost, excessive wind, and strong midday sun to maintain healthy growth.

Plant Size and Spacing

Begonia fuchsioides typically grows to about 60–90 cm tall and 30–60 cm wide. Space plants 40–50 cm apart to allow for good airflow and to accommodate their naturally bushy growth habit.
