How to grow Cocktail Mix Begonia seeds

Choose Your Planting Method

• Indoors: Start indoors 10-12 weeks before the last frost.
• Outdoors: Plant out only after all frost danger has passed and nights stay above 50°F (10°C).

Prepare Your Materials

• Seed-starting trays or pots (if indoors)
• Well-draining seed-starting mix
• Humidity dome or clear plastic cover
• Spray bottle for misting

Sowing the Seeds

• Surface sow: press the dust-fine seeds onto moist seed-starting mix and do not cover — light is required for germination.
• Cover the tray with clear plastic to hold humidity; mist gently to keep moist.

Provide the Right Conditions

• Light: Light is required for germination; give at least 12 hours of good light daily.
• Temperature: 72-80°F (22-27°C); do not let the temperature drop below 60°F (16°C).
• Humidity: Keep humidity high with a plastic cover until seedlings appear; then ventilate to prevent mold.

Germination

• Germination typically takes 14-28 days.
• Seedlings start out tiny — it can take several weeks before they are sturdy enough to handle.

Transplanting

• Transplant into individual pots when seedlings can be handled without damage.
• Plant out after frost, spacing about 10-12 inches apart; acclimate slowly to avoid shock.

Care Tips

• Sun: Partial shade; tolerates full sun in cooler, moist climates.
• Water: Keep soil consistently moist but well-drained.
• Fertilizer: Regular feeding with a diluted liquid fertilizer keeps plants blooming.
• Little deadheading is needed; plants stay tidy on their own.

Bloom Time:

Spring to fall; plants bloom until frost.
