Non Stop Pink

Hereby a step-by-step planting guide:

• Choose well-draining soil and a location with partial shade or filtered sunlight.
• Plant the bulbs about 1-2 inches deep, with the hollow, pointy side facing up, and space them approximately 8-12 inches apart.
• Water regularly to maintain consistent moisture, but avoid overwatering to prevent rot.
• Fertilize with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season to encourage robust growth and continuous blooms.
• Deadhead spent flowers to promote new growth and maintain a tidy appearance.
• In colder regions, dig up the bulbs and store them in a dry, cool and dark place with a consistent temperature between 40-50°F.

The best time to plant Non-Stop Pink begonia bulbs is in the early spring when the soil has warmed to around 50°F (10°C) and there is no risk of frost. This allows the bulbs to establish roots and grow sufficiently before the hot summer weather arrives.

For an earlier start, you can plant the bulbs indoors in pots about 6-8 weeks before the last expected frost date, and then transplant them outdoors when the conditions are suitable.

Non-Stop Pink begonia bulbs typically take around 12-14 weeks from planting to produce their first blooms. The exact time may vary depending on factors such as planting time, growing conditions, and local climate.

Providing the plants with consistent moisture, adequate sunlight, and regular fertilization will help ensure a healthy growth and a profusion of blossoms throughout the summer.

Non-Stop Pink begonia bulbs are not winter hardy in colder climates (USDA hardiness zones lower than 8). In these regions, the bulbs should be dug up before the first frost and stored indoors for the winter.

To store the bulbs, clean off any excess soil, let them dry for a few days, and then place them in a cool, dark, and dry location. The ideal storage temperature is around 40-50°F (4-10°C). Replant the bulbs in the spring following the guidelines mentioned above.

Begonias are hardy within USDA hardiness zones 9 and up. Therefore, you may leave them in the ground year-round.

Yes, Non-Stop Pink begonia bulbs can be grown successfully in containers. Choose a pot with adequate drainage holes and a well-draining potting mix. Plant the bulbs 1-2 inches deep with the hollow side facing up, and space them 6-8 inches apart. Place the container in a location that receives partial shade or filtered sunlight.

Water regularly to maintain consistent moisture, and fertilize with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season. Monitor the plants for any signs of pests or diseases and treat them promptly if necessary.
