Planting Instructions

Seed Preparation

Storage                               : Store seeds in a cool, dry place until ready to plant.

Pre-sowing Treatment       : No special treatment is required for begonia seeds.

Sowing

Timing                           : Sow indoors 8-12 weeks before the last frost date.

Container                      : Use seed trays or small pots filled with a fine, well-draining seed starting mix.

Seed Placement           : Surface sow the seeds, as they need light to germinate. Press them gently into the soil but do not cover them.

Moisture                     : Mist the soil lightly with water to ensure it stays moist but not waterlogged.

Germination

Temperature              : Maintain a consistent temperature of 70-75°F (21-24°C).

Light                           : Provide bright, indirect light or use a grow light to ensure adequate light exposure.

Humidity                    : Cover the seed tray with a clear plastic lid or plastic wrap to maintain humidity. Remove the cover once seedlings emerge.

Germination Time     : Seeds typically germinate in 10-14 days.

Transplanting

Timing                     : Transplant seedlings when they have at least two true leaves and the danger of frost has passed.

Hardening Off        : Gradually acclimate seedlings to outdoor conditions by placing them outside for a few hours each day over a week.

Spacing                   : Plant seedlings 6-8 inches apart in well-draining soil enriched with organic matter.

Care and Maintenance

Watering                : Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water at the base of the plants to avoid wetting the foliage.

Mulching              : Apply a thin layer of mulch around the plants to help retain moisture and suppress weeds.

Pruning                : Remove spent flowers and dead leaves to encourage continuous blooming and maintain plant health.
