| Hello, I have some tuberous begonias that are in desperate conditions. At first, I believed them to be too wet, so I let the soil dry for a week, it is very humid. Today I noticed that while I watered it, it fell over, and the bottom had turned brown and it fell off of the root system. How can I save by beautiful begonias? thanks for the help! |

You can use a regular regimen of Kilol to keep the fungus and bacteria away.Here at the gardens I spray weekly during the rainy season.It's totally harmless and more effective than Manzate or Benlate.
Also if you are watering by hand ? Use a half cup of peroxide to a quart of water. You'll get better growth due to the extra oxygen. Peroxide is an oxidizer so that may help with bacteria as well. |

| Your begonias have stem rot and I'm afraid there is no cure. Begonias don't like to be kept wet for too long |
