"Tough as nails, but gor-
geous," says R.A. Fleming,
Ontario Ministry of Agriculture
and Food horticulturist of the
Rieger Begonia, a houseplant '
first seen in North America in
1972. "As a gift plant, it gives
lasting pleasure with a minimum
of care. Few houseplants are its
equal." Its blooms range in
colour from red to orange-pink to
yellow.
The Rieget Begonia easily
withstands the low-light condi-
tions and dry atmosphere of Most
homes. Because it needs Several
hours of moderate sunlight daily,
it does best in an east window
during the summer and a south
window during the winter. To
ensure flowering over many
weeks, it should be watered with
lukewarm water early in the day,
only When the soil surface` is

beginning to look dry. Never wet
the foliage or spray the plant,
except on rare occasions when an
insecticide is necessary.
Although over-fertilization
reduces flowering and encour-
ages excessive green growth, the
Rieger Begonia needs a light
feeding every two to three weeks
to keep it healthy and vigorous.
When it becomes too tall or
ungainly, cut it back to about four
inches. New shoots soon appear
and growth and flowering begin
all. over again.
If the Rieger Begonia's growth
slows down and its leaves turn
pale green, it may need repotting.
Transplant it into the next largest
container, almost filled with a
light, porous soil mixture, such as
African Violet potting soil. To
prevent crown rot, set the plant
one-quarter inch above its pre-
vious soil level.
