Begonia Escargot care guide

Light Requirements:

Begonia's are fairly tolerant of medium light rooms, but it's suggested to keep them in  bright light that will really keep their grow at a good speed.

These plants definitely can't take any sunlight as this will burn their leaves. 

Watering needs:

It's always best to keep these plants evenly moist. No too wet and not too dry.
Do a quick check by scratching away the top 2cm of the soil to see if it is still moist.

Try and not let them dry out completely and this will make their leaves go crispy. 

Humidity requirements:

Medium humidity is fine for these plant, try and not let their leaves get too wet or too much mist as this will cause fungal spots.  

Free flowing air is extremely important as well.  

Fertilizing:

These guys will enjoy being fertlized at least every two weeks with a general liquid fertlizer, or a water soluble fertlizer like Multi Booster.

Soil:

At least every year or two, or once your Syngonium Neon has started outgrowing it's pot, you will need to to upsize the pot and give her a fresh mix. They require a well draining soil mixture that has good moisture retention. 

Try and only use a premium potting mix such as the Gromor Potting Soil.

It's always good practice to add in Perlite that will assist with good grainage plus peat moss and coir husks that will hold in some moisture.
