How to grow Nonstop Joy Mix Tuberous Begonia seeds

Choose Your Planting Method

• Indoors: Start indoors 12-16 weeks before your last frost date — tuberous begonias need a long head start.
• Outdoors: Outdoor sowing is not recommended; plant out nursery-grown seedlings only after all frost danger has passed.

Prepare Your Materials

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

Sowing the Seeds

• Surface-sow: press seeds gently into the mix — they need light to germinate, so do not cover them.
• Mist carefully to moisten and cover to hold humidity; never let the surface dry out.

Provide the Right Conditions

• Light: Bright, indirect light or grow lights (14-16 hours a day); needs light to germinate.
• Temperature: 70-75°F (21-24°C) for germination; grow on cooler, around 60-65°F (16-18°C).
• Humidity: High humidity is essential during germination — use a dome and open it briefly each day for fresh air.

Germination

• 14-21 days (sometimes longer).
• Remove the cover once seedlings emerge; keep them under bright light and transplant into individual pots 4-5 weeks after germination.

Transplanting

• Plant outdoors after the last frost; harden plants off for 7-10 days in a shady, sheltered spot first.
• Spacing: About 10 inches apart

Care Tips

• Sun: Partial to full shade — avoid direct midday sun, which scorches the leaves.
• Water: Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.
• Fertilizer: Feed every 2-3 weeks with a balanced water-soluble fertilizer for continuous blooms.
• These begonias are largely self-cleaning, so little deadheading is needed.

Bloom Time:

Summer through fall.
