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. and Mrs, Harry McGuire.
