How to grow BIG Begonia seeds

Choose Your Planting Method

• Indoors: Start seeds 10–12 weeks before the last frost; begonias are slow starters.
• Outdoors: Sow outdoors only after all danger of frost has passed.

Prepare Your Materials

• Seed-starting trays or pots (if indoors)
• Fine, well-draining seed-starting mix
• Humidity dome or plastic wrap
• Spray bottle for misting

Sowing the Seeds

• Surface sow and do not cover; the fine seeds need light to germinate.

Provide the Right Conditions

• Light: Bright, indirect light for germination.
• Temperature: About 70–75°F (21–24°C).
• Humidity: A dome or plastic cover helps; keep the mix moist but never soggy.

Germination

• Seedlings usually emerge in 2–3 weeks.
• Grow on in bright, indirect light and fertilize lightly after germination.

Transplanting

• Transplant to larger pots about 6–7 weeks after sowing, then plant out after the last frost.
• Harden off indoor-grown plants before planting out.
• Space plants 12 inches apart.

Care Tips

• Sun: Full sun to full shade.
• Water: Water when the surface feels dry to the touch.
• Fertilizer: A time-release fertilizer at planting is enough for the season.
• Self-cleaning blooms mean no deadheading is needed.

Bloom Time:

Spring to frost (May–frost).
