Many amateur growers began their passion for plants with begonias, because these plants conquer with their beauty and seeming simplicity at first sight.

Sort "Female weapon"

This flower got its name due to the fact that its glamorous bright red middle of the leaf and the same red border attracts the eye no worse than any woman, and the sharp mesh leaves look like evening dress.

This stem is designed to retain moisture in the plant and maintain massive leaves.

Male flowers

The fact that in some species of terry begonia, inflorescences appear during the season is a common occurrence for this plant, but not everyone is able to find differences between female and male flowers.

The bottom line is that in the bushes of begonia, female and male flowers open almost equally, so not everyone can understand where which one is located. In such a situation, you should know that male flower is larger, unlike female, having a long stamen and terry villi. Female flower is very simple and has a seed box next to it.

If we are talking about tuberous begonias, it is worth noting that it is best to leave only male inflorescences so that the plant does not spend its strength on maintaining the seeds. Often there are complaints that the flower blooms only male inflorescences, or vice versa only female, which means that the plant lacks moisture, or the climate is significantly different from its standard.
