Planting

From Early Spring TO Early Spring

All begonias do best in neutral soils or compost and most prefer to be sited in partial shade. When first planting young plants, it is worth removing any early flower buds as this will allow the plant to reach its full size as quickly as possible. When growing begonias as house or conervatory plants, they do best at 13C or more although most will tolerate a winter temperature of 10C. In summer, protect the plants from full sun by siting them where they will receive maximum indirect sunlight.

 

Propagation by cuttings

From Early Spring TO Early Summer

To propagate, take stem cuttings in spring or summer, ensuring that there are growth buds in the axils of the lower leaves. Root in a mixture of half soilless compost and half course sand and keep at a temperature of 18C.
