Plant height — Begonia Elatior

Begonia x hiemalis Fotsch

Plant height is a key varietal trait of Begonia Elatior that determines the commercial appearance of the plant. Standard commercial varieties typically reach a height of 20 to 40 cm.

In the reference 48 varieties crop Elatior Begonia, where this is mentioned in the description.

Begonia Elatior is classified into three groups based on plant height: dwarf (up to 25 cm), medium-height (about 30 cm), and tall (up to 40 cm). In rare cases, Japanese breeding varieties may exceed 50 cm, but for commercial production, the range up to 40 cm is considered optimal.

According to international UPOV guidelines, height assessment is conducted during the full flowering stage by measuring the distance from the substrate surface to the top of the inflorescences or leaves. This trait is highly dependent on cultivation practices, particularly light intensity, photoperiod, and the application of growth regulators.

Insufficient light and an excess of nitrogen fertilizers promote etiolation and stem stretching, which reduces commercial appeal and plant resistance to lodging. Plant size is controlled under short nine-hour day conditions to ensure compactness and transportability of the product.
