Top Tips

Care Guide

• Begonia ‘Apricot Fiery Shades’ grows well in sun and shade, and its trailing habit makes it perfect for growing in pots and hanging baskets.
• Begonia tubers will start into growth from February onwards. The easiest way is to put them into shallow tray with a good quality compost which has been moistened.
• Plant the tubers with the domed side downwards and the hollow uppermost. Shoots will start to emerge depending on temperature. We recommend that you start them off in a warm room.
• As soon as the shoots of the tubers are about 2cm long pot them up in 15cm pots. As soon as the roots reach the sides of the pot, they're ready to go into baskets. Alternatively, you can plant the tubers straight into baskets and tubs where they are to flower and grow them on in warm, frost-free conditions.
• Outside, grow in full sun or partial shaded areas. The sunnier the site, the more vibrant the colours will be.
  Feed once every two weeks with a high potassium feed while in flower, and deadhead regularly to encourage further flowers.
• For best results keep plants well watered, and feed fortnightly with a high-potash fertiliser to prolong flowering. Take care not to over-water, as this will cause new Begonia flower buds to drop.
• Remove faded flowers to encourage more blooms.
