Ice begonias are not only easy to care for but also quite undemanding in terms of their location. Therefore, they can be planted almost anywhere. Ice begonias are often seen on graves, where they provide pleasantly fresh but unobtrusive splashes of color.
Ice begonias do best in the sun
Where do ice begonias bloom best?
Ice begonias need a lot of light to bloom profusely. Nevertheless, they thrive particularly well in a partially shaded location. They prefer slightly moist soil but do not like waterlogging. Even if they bloom less there, ice begonias can be cultivated quite well in the shade. They are also suitable for shady balconies.
The essentials in brief:
- like warmth and light
- prefer slightly moist, humus-rich and well-drained soil
- also thrive in the shade, but bloom less profusely there
- popular grave planting
- well suited for balcony planting
