Now is the time to start sowing ever-flowering begonia seedlings.

However, this “operation” does not always end successfully, warns Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert from the online publication Belnovosti, an agronomist, and a landscape designer.

To avoid worrying about whether you will be able to see the results of your own efforts, carefully read the conditions necessary for growing this flower.

So, when sowing this plant, it is necessary to completely dissolve the shell in which the seeds are enclosed.

If you think that you can do this by generously watering them with a spray bottle, we hasten to refute this misconception - this way you will only deepen the tiny seeds into the ground.

Instead, lightly spray the seed, then wait a bit and spray again a couple of times.

The next thing that must be taken into account is the fact that after sowing, the container with the future seedlings must be kept warm.

If you ignore this condition, begonia seedlings, which require a temperature of 25 degrees to germinate, are unlikely to appear above the ground.
