Fibrous Begonias are a necessity item for spring bed- 
ding sales. They are used extensively in combination 
work and are also popular house plants throughout 
the year. 
Production from seed is simple. January sowing 
produces plants for spring bedding work. The fine 
seed is lightly pressed into a sterilized fibrous medium. 
The seed is kept moist, not covered, and germinates 
best at 60 to 70 degrees. An economical method has 
been to shift the seedlings to flats spaced 2 x 2 inches 
and grow them on until they become crowded. Then 
transfer to 3- or 4-inch pots. 
Potting soil should contain one part peat, one part 
sand and one part soil—a fibrous medium that will 
not pack is essential. To keep the plants moving, a 
temperature of 60 degrees is best. The plants do well 
in shade or full sun, but are best shaded during the 
summer. 
Try monthly sowings from August to March for a 
constant supply to meet your customer's demand.
