Sprinkle seeds on the surface of a moist, fine seed-starting mix and press them in lightly without covering, as they need light to germinate. Water from below or mist gently, and cover the tray with a clear lid to hold humidity. Keep at 70–75°F (21–24°C) in bright, indirect light; seedlings usually appear in 2–4 weeks. Move seedlings into small pots once they have a few true leaves, and plant outdoors after all danger of frost has passed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to Grow\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlant in partial to full shade in fertile, well-drained soil enriched with compost. Keep the soil evenly moist but never waterlogged, and feed lightly with a balanced fertiliser during the growing season. Remove faded flowers to keep plants tidy and blooming. In cold climates, pot up plants before the first frost and bring them indoors to enjoy as houseplants over winter.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"OrganicSeedsHub","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45734817202359,"sku":"PL-10JAN-47","price":16.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/3335\/6471\/files\/render_3f1c8dad-772d-42f5-96b1-69bd9738c9ff.jpg?v=1770440105","url":"https:\/\/organicseedshub.com\/products\/pink-begonia-seeds-begonia-semperflorens-wax-begonia-flower-seeds-for-shade-gardens","provider":"OrganicSeedsHub","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
