PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS
How to Plant Roseform Apricot Begonia Tubers
WHEN TO PLANT BEGONIAS

Plant Begonias in late Spring after threat of frost has passed. If starting indoors, Start about 8 weeks prior to transplant.

WHERE TO PLANT BEGONIAS

Plant in well-draining soil in partial to full sun.

HOW TO PLANT BEGONIAS

If you choose to start your Begonia tubers indoors, use a loose well-drained soil mix that drains well. The begonias like to be put in a temperature of about 64 degrees Fahrenheit, however, they do not seem to mind higher temperatures. After the tubers have sprouted and you can see small leaves, transfer the tubers to a five inch pot and cover them with compost. If you plan on using the begonias in an outdoor garden, begin getting your begonias acclimated to the temperature outdoors in stages. This process should probably begin towards the end of May. After a week, if the threat of frost has passed, you may leave your begonia plants outside all night. Transplant outdoors after the begonias have grown 4 or 5 inches. Mulch around the begonias with 2 inches of compost or wood chips.

If you start the tubers outside, the ground should be loose and well drained. It should be moist but not soggy. Do not plant them outside until all danger of frost is past. Place the tubers in the soil mix with the hollow side up. Make sure that the top of the tuber is level with the soil surface. Water lightly. Once the bulbs have started sprouting and growing, water enough to keep the soil moist. Begonias like a place that is moist and partially shaded. If they happen to be in the sun for most of the day, then you should water your begonias frequently in order to prevent bud drop.

Begonias should be planted 8-12 inches apart and just deep enough that the soil covers the top of the bulb.

HOW TO CARE FOR BEGONIAS

They do not require much care once established. Keep their soil moist but not soggy; the tubers will rot if they get too much water. Feed Begonias with a well-balanced plant food every 2 to 3 weeks. Deadhead all your Begonias regularly; removing wilted leaves and flowers encourages them to produce more blooms.

Properly stored, tuberous Begonias will give you years of vibrant, eye-popping blooms to brighten up your shady garden areas. So get your tubers started this spring for a show- stopping summer!

Beginner's Gardening Guide

The three most essential elements for seed germination are:
Water: Allows the seed to absorb moisture, activates enzymes, and breaks dormancy
Suitable temperature: A suitable temperature is necessary to initiate growth
Oxygen: Respiration requires oxygen, which provides energy.
Some plants may also have light requirements, but the first three are essential.

⭐The Before You Sow Checklist

Preparation makes all the difference. Get these basics sorted before you sow, and you'll avoid most common pitfalls.

Don’t use garden soil in containers—it compacts when wet, contains weeds, pests and diseases. Choose seed-sowing or quality multipurpose compost instead.We suggest a fine, free-draining, low-nutrient peat-free medium (young seedlings don’t need feeding).

For outdoor sowing, loosen soil to a fine tilth, rake level, and water the day before if dry.

💡How to Sow Seeds Indoors

Indoor sowing lets you start earlier and control conditions easily. Fill containers with compost, level it gently without compacting, then water well and drain.

Sow 2–3 seeds per cell or scatter thinly in trays as directed. Cover lightly with compost/vermiculite (or leave uncovered if light is needed). Label with plant name and sowing date.

Ideal for crops sensitive to root disturbance, such as carrots, parsnips, peas and beans. Prepare fine soil, make shallow drills, sow thinly, cover lightly and water gently. Thin seedlings when they develop true leaves.

📢How to Sow Seeds Outdoors

Ideal for crops sensitive to root disturbance, such as carrots, parsnips, peas and beans. Prepare fine soil, make shallow drills, sow thinly, cover lightly and water gently. Thin seedlings when they develop true leaves.

Pricking Out🌱

When seedlings have true leaves, transplant them into larger pots to avoid overcrowding.Fill pots with fresh compost, make a hole, and water seedlings first for easier lifting.

Lift them gently by the leaves (not stems) and firm compost around roots.Bury leggy seedlings (e.g., tomatoes) up to their lowest leaves.Water lightly and keep out of direct sun for a few days.

Common Problems

Seeds won't germinate: This could be due to using old seeds, incorrect temperature, sowing too deeply, or the compost drying out.
Leggy seedlings: This is a result of insufficient light. Move to a brighter spot, use grow lights or try planting deeper when transplanting.

🍃Hardening Off & Planting Out

Indoor-grown plants need hardening off to adapt outdoors.Place them outside in a sheltered spot by day for a week, bring in at night, then gradually leave them out overnight over another week.
Plant on a mild, cloudy day. Dig holes bigger than root balls, firm gently, water well. Protect from slugs and frost with fleece.
For continuous harvests, try succession sowing: sow small batches of quick-growing crops every 2–3 weeks.
