[@sunray9941]

I love videos like this: step one,step 2... Like simple text book. None of that,"..I love my seeds , and my husband made made a pizza, and last summer I was in Aruba.." Thank you for keeping it informative and short.

[@LearnHow2]

So nice of you to say so! I too dont like unnecessary waffle. Keep safe.

[@NDayJIne]

No time!

[@tptrading_23]

The best video when it comes to step by step care of Begonias from seed!!! Thanks so much I just purchased my seeds today wish me luck

[@LearnHow2]

Glad it was helpful!

[@zenyrgarden7859]

Your soil actually looks so ‘yummy’ (like brownie or chocolate cake mix) lol. Thank you for a great video.

[@LearnHow2]

My soil is quite poor actually .. a very heavy clay.

[@Procvetanie779]

Прекрасное видео!Цветы вырастут супер красивые!

[@kintore2003]

That's how training videos should be. No crap just simple idiot proof advice. Good effort fella. Off to plant some seeds now.

[@LearnHow2]

Thank you for your kind comments. Good luck with your growing and keep safe.

[@alliswell9261]

Please tell me about the compost mixture you have used for this begonia seedlings.

[@LearnHow2]

The compost I used is called Humax here in the UK. I would advise to use a 'Seed Compost' which is specially formulated for germinating seeds.

[@yaboisheldon5512]

Well done!! They look amazing!!

[@LearnHow2]

Thanks for your comment. The seeds germinated very quickly but stayed as very tiny plants for a very long time. However as the weather warmed up they matured into stunning plants - very pleased with them.

[@milleniallola127]

can i leave them a few days to transfer in a seed tray?

[@LearnHow2]

Hi Julie. I am not clear about what you are asking?

[@mystiquerose620]

Hi..i removed seeds from a wax begonia plant I bought from a garden centre..do you think the seeds are viable?I did remove the seeds correctly but not sure if they're viable or not?Thank you

[@LearnHow2]

Sorry but I have no experience of this. Best thing to do is give them a try but bear in mind that they may not come true to the parent plant. Keep safe.

[@mystiquerose620]

@@LearnHow2 thank you

[@yandracontreras1642]

I have a big begonia but I don’t see where the seeds are. Help

[@LearnHow2]

Hi Yandra. I believe they are in small seed pods at the end of the flowers. Keep safe.

[@megganbeck6772]

Do I need to water everyday while germinating?

[@LearnHow2]

I have some germinating at the moment. The seeds are tiny and will wash away with normal watering so I spray everyday with a fine mist until the compost is moist.

[@krehbein]

4:13 how long from seed to this stage? Thanks.

[@LearnHow2]

It was about 10 weeks. The seedlings are tiny to start off with and took a long time to get bigger. Maybe it is to do with the cooler climate her in the uk.

Can I use cocopeat instead of compost

[@LearnHow2]

I have never used this so I cannot advise you.

[@shreyavathsan3561]

Wow this video is really useful. Thank you so much!!!!

[@LearnHow2]

Thank you very much for your appreciation. It means a lot.

[@themalaymenagerie3350]

What sp of begonia is that?

[@LearnHow2]

It is not clear from the seed packet. The description is "Begonia Summer Bedding (half hardy perennial) - a mixture of traditional bedding variety". Keep safe.

[@bhaswatisharma8674]

How long from seed to this stage at 5:35 ??

[@LearnHow2]

Hi Bhaswati. It took me about 16 weeks from starting seeds to get there. It will differ depending on your climate. Keep safe.

[@ritareyes3970]

Thank you for your video, this year I'm colecting my own seeds and I want to try it. Do you use only compost, nothing else? May I use caw manure and compost from the store or is only compost? Thanks, Godbless you 🙏

[@LearnHow2]

To avoid disease I only use store bought compost for seed germination.

[@michaelmichael9940]

Does seeds need light to germinate

[@LearnHow2]

Most plant seeds only need heat and moisture to germinate however Begonia seeds also need light.

[@rosieg7582]

My great grandmother, grandmother and mother all grew begonias. With the recent passing of my mother I decided it was time to try carrying on their tradition. Waiting for my first seeds to arrive. Thanks for your wonderful tutorial!

[@aimeewildstone4602]

Great video thank you!

Hi Aimee. Glad you liked it! Keep safe.

Like your vedio 😊

Thank you Divina. Stay safe. 😊

[@fazalahmed9137]

Please tell me the growing season of begonia

[@LearnHow2]

They start flowering at the start of summer and begin to die off with the first frosts.

[@vidsvids5378]

Would it be the same process for the larger flowing trailing begonias? And would they flower the same year? Great video, thank you

[@LearnHow2]

I am sorry but I have no experience of trailing Begonias so would not want to give you any false advice. I will try growing them this year. Keep safe.

[@vidsvids5378]

@@LearnHow2 thanks you and I shall look forward to it. You stay safe too

[@jenmb2679]

So how many seeds needed to grow one flower?

[@LearnHow2]

One tiny seed gives one plant with many many flowers.

[@omg28374]

Have you ever grown oriental poppies successfully indoors?

[@LearnHow2]

Sorry but I have not.

[@bhaswatisharma8674]

Is it permanent plant??? Or should I need grow it every year

[@LearnHow2]

Hi Bhaswati. I grow from seed each year.

[@justasmalltowngirl9430]

I've tried to plant begonia seeds, straight from the plant. Not the kind you buy from stores, the pelleted kind ...but just the seeds from a begonia plant. I have never had any luck. They seem so hard to plant from seed. I've had great luck with all my other plants, begonias seem to be the only ones so far that I have trouble with. They are easy to propagate though from cuttings.

[@LearnHow2]

Mine took a long time to grow. Thanks for the tip about cuttings. Keep safe.

[@milleniallola127]

my seedling is so tiny

[@LearnHow2]

Hi Julie. Yes they are very small for quite a while then suddenly they begin growing an get larger quite quickly. Good luck with your growing and keep safe.

[@JulioRodriguez-gy2sy]

thanks I'm going to try that

[@LearnHow2]

Good luck and I hope you get some great plants.

[@NDayJIne]

Thanks
