Begonia Fortuna F1

Indoor and annual. Compact plant with small leaves and flowers located above the foliage, with long flowering. The earliest series compared to other tuberous begonia series. A short strong pedicel allows not to damage the plants during transportation. The flowers are large, fully double. Flowering begins in June and continues until frost. The soil should be loose and nutritious. For abundant flowering, fertilizing with complex fertilizers is necessary every 2 weeks, and in dry weather, regular watering. Seedlings are sown from January to March. Dragees are laid out in bowls with carefully leveled soil, without falling asleep with earth. Cover with glass, put in a warm (23-25 ° C) bright place and often sprayed with water. Shoots appear in 10-14 days. 1.5-2 months after sowing, the seedlings dive to a distance of 5 cm, and a month later they are transferred to pots with a diameter of 8-10 cm. During the growth period, the seedlings must be fed with complex fertilizers once every 10 days.

The special value of begonia is that it tolerates shading and can be used to decorate the northern sides of buildings, shady patios, gardens, flower beds. Can be grown in containers and hanging baskets.
