Potted Culture — Tuberous Begonia
Begonia x tuberhybrida Voss
The potted culture of tuberous begonia is based on the biological characteristics of the plant, which has a shallow root system and a distinct tuber dormancy period.
In the reference 8 varieties crop Tuberous begonia, where this is mentioned in the description.
Wide but shallow containers with an essential drainage layer are used for growing tuberous begonia, which prevents soil acidification and the development of root system rots. When planting, the top of the tuber with buds is left exposed, and loose mixtures with the addition of aerating components are used as a substrate.
Development management in potted culture is carried out through photoperiod control: using a short light day (8–10 hours) allows for the adjustment of growth rates. Unlike evergreen plants, the agronomic practices for tuberous begonia involve an obligatory dormancy period, during which the above-ground part dies off and the tuber is stored until the next season.
