HANGING BASKET BEGONIA (LLOYD. 11) 
CULTURE FOR TUBEROUS BEGONIAS AND CALADIUMS 
Begonias: Soil for pots should consist of two-thirds leaf mold, one-third sand. Peat moss 
may be added. The bottom half of soil in the pot should contain plenty of rotted cow 
manure. Additional light feedings of fish or blood meal may be given every two weeks, by 
sprinkling on top of the soil at the outer edge of the pot and watered in. If plants are to be 
placed in the ground, they should be given a spot sheltered from wind and not more than 
two or three hours of sunlight in the morning. The Hanging Basket types should definitely 
not be placed in a windy location. Watering: Give gentle overhead watering until plants 
are established, then a heavier irrigation of the soil. Keep soil moist at all times, sprinkling 
around the plants as well as the foliage on warm days is most beneficial. 
Caladiums: Essentially the same as for Begonias.
