🎆The frequency of blue in the plant world is quite rare, blue begonias, take you to appreciate the beauty of blue.
🎉If you want to raise green plants indoors and want to feel the smell of the forest without leaving the house, the extremely shade-tolerant foliage begonia must be the first choice.
🌌Their leaves are an unpredictable blue in the low light, just like the auroras in the dark night sky above the quiet Arctic Circle, fantastic and cool.
🌠The leaves of different forms in the weak light of the place with gorgeous blue light, strange, like the elves in the dark night, fantastic.
⭐Their variety is extremely rich, not only the leaf shape is different, but also can produce delicate flowers.
🪐The reason why begonias have blue leaves is because of the presence of a special chloroplast, the iridium.The thylakoids in the iridosomes are regularly stacked and reflect blue-green light with a wavelength of 435 to 500nm, which is why the leaves appear blue.
🌟Scientific studies have shown that iridosome can increase the efficiency of photosynthesis by 5 to 10%, which helps the begonia to survive in a poor light environment.
🪶Only when the begonias are placed in a near dark environment will the leaves appear blue luster, blue luster will slowly disappear in a strong light environment. Begonia leaves appear green under normal light.
🌿Maintenance:
Light: Begonias are usually adapted to a weak light environment, so you should choose a place where the light is softer, and you can choose to place it indoors or in a semi-cool outdoor area.
Temperature and humidity: Native to tropical rainforests, begonias generally prefer warm and humid environments and try to avoid exposure to cold temperatures or excessively dry environments.
Watering and moisturizing: Keeping the soil moist but not wet is the key to begonia care. Consider ways to raise the humidity around the plant, such as spraying water, using a humidity tray, or placing on a moss base.
Fertilization: Providing proper nutrients is also important for the growth and color expression of begonias, choose a fertilizer suitable for begonias and apply it in moderation according to package instructions.
