Begonia Flower Size

smaller flowers on warm-grown begoniaThis is the begonia which was placed in the propagator in early spring to bring it on. The flowers are smaller and the stems are longer than the other plant which was allowed to grow naturally. Both plants are in 38 cm (15 inch) pots.


larger flowers on cool-grown begoniaOf course, this could be because there are more flowers on one plant. But it usually happens that cool-grown plants turn out best (are stronger and have larger flowers).
