For the normal development of begonias need heat and light, therefore
crops do not earlier than the beginning of March. By this moment light day

• ordinary, without sheath, very small;
• granulated dragee in the shell.
Beginners prefer to stay on the granular
seeds, it is more convenient to lay them on the surface of the soil, observing
required distance. Ordinary seeds are sown in a container, after which
sprouts thinned.
To get a flowering shrub, you first need to grow seedlings
begonias. Granulated seeds are conveniently planted in coconut or
peat tablets. This allows you to do without picks,
since the root system is very fragile and afraid of excess
manipulations.
Instructions for planting seeds in tablets:
1. • Place the tablets in a pan with water, leave to full
getting wet
2. • Spread the seeds into each tablet, sprinkle lightly with water,
so that the pellet is drawn into the soil. Deepen the seed is not necessary!
3. • Cover the pill with a plastic cup or jar.
water and monitor the level of humidity in the greenhouse.
This method has one drawback. The seeds themselves germinate.
long, and granulated even longer. Have to wait until
dissolve the shell, which increases the time of germination.
Withвет! Always use 2 times
more seeds than you need. After all, some may not climb
at all.
Regular seeds are sown in a seedling container. Fill it up
light soil. The soil is well watered the day before planting. Sow
small seeds are very difficult, but there are secrets.

soil surface;
• Seeds spread on white paper and clapping movements.
spread in a container;

Containers covered with glass and cleaned in a bright, warm place.
Shoots appear on the 10-25 day, all the time the temperature

Seedlings need careful care. Water them only in
pan, excess water is drained after 1 h. If you use the top
watering, it is better to do it pointwise. To do this, use
syringe or syringe. Try not to pour begonia, otherwise
an insidious “black leg” will appear, the seedlings will die.

for lighting. If there are cloudy days or no natural light
enough, it is better to use artificial lighting.
Light day begonias should be 12 hours
If you do not follow these simple rules, the seedlings are amazed
fungal diseases, grow slowly, may die.
How to dive begonia seedlings
If seedlings of begonias from seeds were grown in tablets, then
dive it is not necessary. It is enough to tear the bottom edge of the pill and
plant a seedling in a large container.
Picks make for seedlings grown in containers. With
time it becomes crowded, the area of power is reduced. Sprouts
dive when three real sheets appear on them, they look
healthy and strong.
Instructions for picking:
1. • Take larger cups, make them
holes, pour a good layer of drainage.
2. • Fill containers with earth that was used for
seed germination.
3. • Carefully transfer the shoots with a clod of earth into a new container,
water it.
If instead of cups, there are used bowls, then in one container
dive on 5 plants. Dropped out seedlings put on
bright place, but the temperature is reduced, so that shoots are not
pulled out. Two weeks later, the young begonias feed up.
After 25 days the seedlings will grow up and can be transplanted into
standing pots. The plant blooms in early summer,
the duration of flowering depends on the variety and growing conditions.
Outside, the plant blooms until frost.
Features of cultivation and care of begonia from seeds after
picks
Begonia is used to decorate a room, terrace or balcony.
Some species can be planted in open ground for the summer.
In room conditions the plant needs special care.

grow well, and flowering forms – to fully bloom.
Begonia is demanding lighting, so the flower pot
better to put on a bright place, but from direct sunlight
to guard. Consider that variegated forms need
lighting more than flowering. The latter can carry light
penumbra. In winter, all begonias need additional lighting,
otherwise their shoots are drawn out.
Water the begonia abundantly, but the water should come out of the drainage
holes. An hour after watering, excess water from the pan is poured.
In the summer it is useful to spray the leaves to raise the humidity of the air
around the plant.
There is no clear rest period for begonias, but to rest the plant
need, especially ever-flowering forms. In the autumn, watering is reduced, and
winter minimize. The pot is cleaned in a cool room. AT

the former place. ATытянувшиеся побеги нужно обрезать.
