Begonias are fairly low maintenance and can provide long periods of bloom. In cooler climates, these tropical plants are mainly grown as indoor houseplants or as annuals outdoors in summer. With their richly-colored blooms and foliage, they're commonly used by landscapers in outdoor container arrangements. These plants like partial shade and slightly acidic soil.
 
These are the main care requirements for growing begonias:
Likes indirect sunlight or shade
Needs regular watering
Requires well-draining soil that is rich in organic matter
