as needed in early spring, before intensive growth begins. Large plants can be divided when transplanted.
Air humidity is of great importance for the development of begonia. Its level should always be close to 60%. This humidity can be maintained using additional water containers or special devices.
Another way to moisturize can be a container with wet peat, in which you need to place a pot of begonia. But you will have to abandon the usual spraying for other flowers, since begonia may die from such water procedures.
