Double Begonias are native to South and Central America, Africa, and southern Asia, liking the moist climate of a sub-tropical or tropical environment. This means that although the begonia is a simple plant to care for, choosing the right location and watering them properly (moist soil, but not too wet) is essential to success. Lady Snow White has bronze foliage, and the double-flowered rosette blooms are white. They are best grown in containers as house plants or for partial shade landscape use.
General Growing Tips For Your Rooted Cutting Liner
For best results with Double Lady Snow White, we recommend using a constant feed program of 200 ppm N. Maintain a pH between 5.5 - 6.2. Allow soil to dry slightly between watering.
Pinching
We recommend that you pinch Double Lady Snow White 5-10 days after transplanting to your final container. Additional pinches every couple of weeks may be required to shape your final pot. Remember to give your double begonias 4 weeks from their final pinch to reach bloom stage.
Spacing
Begonias should be spaced adequately to allow airflow and light penetration between the foliage. Usually 2’ centers on baskets will be enough.
Height Control
In our experience, plant growth regulators will stop growthcompletely in double begonias (keeping them from ever growing again). Proper pinching is the best way to control height.
Pests
Aphids can be attracted to Double Begonias.
Disease
Double Lady Snow White are not prone to many diseases, but watch for botrytis and plant rot while the days are short. Botrytis is a grey rot usually associated with wet or humid conditions. You can prevent it by allowing the plant to dry out between waterings, allowing for good airflow in your greenhouse, and spacing to allow the sun to penetrate to the soil level. The most common chemicals used to treat botrytis are Medallion and Banrot. Use them as a drench according to each label’s instructions.
Planting Double Lady Snow White Liners
1. We recommend planting 4 starter plants per 10 inch basket. Use a well-drained soil in your baskets and plant your starter plants deep, allowing the ellepot to be completely covered by the soil. If you are planting 4” pots, 1 plant per pot should be sufficient. Plant it directly in the middle of your pot.
2. Pinch Double Lady Snow White 5-10 days after transplanting to your final container. Additional pinches every couple of weeks may be required to shape your final pot.
Rooted Cuttings
Cuttings vary in size between different plant families. These rooted starter plants will arrive ready to be transplanted in to your final container. If they are to be used in a landscape application, you will need to establish them in a 4 inch pot or an 1801 before planting outside.

Before we take this relationship any further...
It looks like this is the first time you've added anything to your cart.
We just wanted to remind you that we are a wholesale starter plant company that sells to businesses, schools, clubs, and other non-profits. State law dictates that you must be growing for resale to order from us since we are not collecting sales tax.
If we aren't a match, we understand. It's not you, it's us.
We would look awful in orange jumpsuits.
