watering
Water Hybrid Tuberous Begonia plants deeply yet infrequently. Water them once every 10-14 days, making sure that the soil stays evenly moist (not wet), and dry out slightly between waterings. If the plant is in a container that has adequate drainage, it is best to soak the entire container in a sink, allowing the water to run freely through the holes in the bottom of the pot. During the summer, water more frequently as needed.
sunlight
Hybrid Tuberous Begonias (Begonia tuberhybrida 'Jurassic Pink Splash') do best when planted in a partly shaded location, and can tolerate direct sunlight for short periods of time in morning hours. For optimal health, they should receive around 4 hours of bright indirect sunlight per day.
pruning
Hybrid tuberous begonias (Begonia tuberhybrida 'Jurassic Pink Splash') can be pruned as needed during the season. For regular maintenance, remove any dead or damaged leaves, stems, and flower heads. To encourage bushier growth and fuller blooms, cut back the stems to about 4-6 inches in mid to late summer. Additionally, you can cut off the spent blooms to keep the plant looking tidy and encourage fresh growth.
