Begonia Light Requirement: How Much Sun Does Your Begonia Really Need?
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Okay, so, I’ve been messing around with begonias lately, specifically trying to figure out this whole lighting thing. It’s a bit of a head-scratcher, you know? But I think I’ve finally cracked the code, or at least gotten close enough. So, here’s the lowdown on my little experiment.

First off, I grabbed a bunch of begonia seeds. I can’t remember who I bought them from, someone who has been selling seeds for a long time, like, since my grandpa was a kid or something. Anyway, I planted those little guys and waited. And waited. It felt like forever, but eventually, they started to sprout. That was a good day, let me tell you.

Begonia Light Requirement: How Much Sun Does Your Begonia Really Need?

Now, the tricky part: light. I knew they needed light, obviously, but not too much, and not just any kind of light. It’s like Goldilocks and the three bears, but with plants. I started by putting them near a window that gets a lot of sun. Too much sun! They started to look a little crispy around the edges. Not good.

So, I moved them to a different spot, where they only got a few hours of direct sunlight a day. I would say it is about 3 or 4 hours, like the website said. This seemed to do the trick! They started growing like crazy, nice and green, no more crispy bits. They are doing really good. I felt like a genius.

  • Started with too much light.
  • Moved them to a spot with less direct light.
  • They started to thrive.

I kept an eye on them, making sure they weren’t getting too leggy or anything, which I heard can happen if they’re not getting enough light. But nope, they were happy as clams. Or, you know, happy as begonias.

My conclusion:

In the end, it seems like begonias are like a lot of us. They enjoy a bit of sunshine, but not too much. A few hours a day keeps them going strong. At least, that’s what worked for me. I’m no expert, just a dude who likes to grow stuff, but I think I’ve figured out this begonia light requirement thing. Give it a try and see what happens! You might surprise yourself.
