Begonia Tuberhybrida Non Stop Mocca Mixed

WHEN TO SOW

January to March

WHERE TO SOW

Sow seed on the surface of lightly firmed compost. Do not cover. Place inside a propagator or cover tray with polythene or glass in a warm place and keep at a temperature of around 24-27°C (75-80°F). After sowing, do not exclude light as this helps germination. Keep the surface of the compost moist but not waterlogged. Germination will usually take 15-60 days.

WHAT TO DO NEXT

As soon as a few seedlings emerge remove cover but spray regularly to keep moist. When seedlings are large enough to handle prick off into trays 5cm (2") apart. Gradually harden off in late April/ early May to plant outside 20cm (8") apart when all risk of frost has passed.
