Begonia ‘Moon Butterfly’: Care Guide and Overview

Protect it from cold drafts, air conditioning vents, or temperatures below 50°F (10°C).

Feed the plant with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 4–6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer).
Reduce feeding in the fall and winter when the plant’s growth slows.

Pinch back leggy stems to promote a bushier appearance.

Repot every 2–3 years or when the plant outgrows its pot.
Choose a pot that’s only slightly larger than the current one to avoid overwatering issues.
Use fresh potting mix during repotting to provide nutrients.
