How to Care for the Plant

Water
However, make sure to not over-water. When it comes to watering dragon red wing begonia, watering less is better than over-watering because the plant is somewhat drought tolerant. The rule of thumb for watering dragon begonias is to let the top 2″ – 3” inches of soil get dry between waterings.
Fertilizer
Feed your dragon begonia with a diluted (by half) balanced liquid fertilizer once every two weeks during the spring and summer seasons. Reduce the fertilizing to once a month in fall and winter. To avoid fertilizer burn, always fertilize plants when its soil is moist.
Sunlight
Full sun, partial shade.
