Planting guide

Plant well.Grow beautifully.

Growing method

Start the tubers indoors in spring in a light, well-draining substrate, placing them with the concave side facing upwards. Water sparingly until shoots appear and ensure no water collects in the hollow. Keep young plants frost-free until conditions allow them to be planted outdoors. Choose a bright spot protected from scorching sun and strong winds. If planting in pots, ensure drainage holes are clear and adjust watering according to foliage development. Gradually acclimatize plants to outdoor conditions to get them used to wind and light, without stressing new shoots. During growth, maintain consistent moisture without letting the soil get waterlogged. Water at the base and remove damaged or wilted flowers to keep the plant tidy. Stems and leaves are fragile: handle the container carefully and avoid crowding the plant amongst more vigorous neighbours. In Quebec, protect tubers from frost to preserve them. When foliage enters dormancy, reduce watering and allow above-ground parts to wither before removing them. Store healthy tubers in a dry, airy, frost-free place over winter, with their labels, then check their condition before replanting.

Soil and care

The right care,at the right time.

Watering

Before shoots appear, keep the potting mix barely moist to protect the tuber from rot. During growth, water when the surface starts to dry, without letting the entire root ball dry out. Pour water onto the potting mix, avoiding the hollow of the tuber, leaves, and flowers. Let the excess drain and empty the saucer. Check hanging baskets more often in hot or windy weather. Gradually reduce watering when the leaves naturally turn yellow.

Soil type

Use light, organically rich soil that retains moisture while draining excess water. Check drainage after rain: water should be able to exit the root zone. Work the soil when it is dry to avoid compaction. Adapt amendments to its actual texture. In containers, use appropriate potting soil and a pot with drainage holes. Keep these openings clear and avoid water accumulation in the saucer.

Fertilization

Apply liquid fertilizer for flowering plants every two weeks. Follow the dosage indicated on the fertilizer packaging and measure the quantity before applying it. Take into account the compost and other additions already made to avoid fertilizing the same plant twice. Distribute the product according to its instructions for use; avoid concentrated contact with the roots or storage organs.

Seasonal care

Start the tubers in spring in a light, well-draining substrate, placing their hollow side facing upwards. Water sparingly before shoots appear and ensure no water collects in the hollow. Keep young plants frost-free until conditions allow them to be planted outdoors. Choose a bright location protected from direct sunlight and strong winds. If potting, ensure drainage holes are clear and adjust watering according to foliage development. Gradually introduce plants outdoors to acclimate them to wind and light, without shocking new shoots. During growth, maintain consistent moisture without letting the soil become waterlogged. Water at the base and remove damaged or faded flowers to keep the plant tidy. Stems and leaves are fragile: handle the container carefully and avoid crowding the plant between more vigorous neighbors. In Quebec, protect tubers from frost for storage. When foliage goes dormant, reduce watering and let aerial parts wither before removing them. Store healthy tubers in a dry, airy, frost-free place over winter, with their label, then check their condition before replanting. Over the seasons, observe new shoots, soil moisture, and stem condition. A durable label helps locate the planting during dormancy. Clean tools after cutting diseased parts and remove debris decaying around the base.

Container growing

A garden,within reach.

Container gardening requires anticipating the volume needed for the roots and the plant's final height. Choose a stable pot with drainage holes and a substrate suitable for planting. Leave enough space to respect the recommended depth and spacing, rather than crowding plants to immediately fill the pot. Place the container in the indicated exposure and regularly check the moisture, especially in hot or windy weather. A pot is more exposed to temperature variations than a plant in the ground. Therefore, plan an overwintering location from the start that is compatible with the plant's needs and your region's climate. Start tubers in spring in a light, well-draining substrate, placing their hollow side upwards. Water sparingly before shoots appear and ensure no water remains in the hollow. Keep young plants frost-free until conditions allow them to be moved outdoors. Choose a bright location protected from scorching sun and strong winds. In a pot, keep the drainage holes clear and adjust watering to the foliage development. Gradually acclimate plants outdoors to wind and light, without stressing new shoots. In winter, protect the container according to the plant's needs: its roots are more exposed to cold than in the ground.

Garden associations

In goodcompany.

Companion plants

To accompany Begonia Super Novelty ‘Golden Wave’, you could consider coleus, heucheras, or impatiens. Choose neighboring varieties based on their height, flowering period, and the colors you wish to combine. Most importantly, ensure that their sun exposure and water needs are suitable for the same location. Leave enough space so that the leaves do not obscure young shoots and to allow easy access to each plant for maintenance. These combinations are for designing the garden's aesthetics; they do not guarantee protection against pests or diseases. Adjust the arrangement after observing one growing season.

Frequently asked questions

Your questions,answered.

How to successfully plant Begonia Super Novelty 'Golden Wave'?

Start the tubers in spring in a light, well-draining substrate, placing their concave side upwards. Water sparingly until shoots appear and prevent water from pooling in the hollow. Keep young plants frost-free until conditions allow them to be moved outdoors. Choose a bright location protected from scorching sun and strong winds. In pots, ensure drainage holes are clear and adjust watering according to foliage development. Gradually introduce the plants outside to acclimatize them to wind and light, without stressing new shoots.

What light should I provide for Begonia Super Novelty 'Golden Wave'?

The recommended exposure is semi-shade. Observe the light at your chosen location in the morning and afternoon, as the shade from trees or buildings changes throughout the day. Also consider neighboring plants: their foliage can obscure a young planting as it develops. For container plants, place the pot where you can move it if conditions become too hot or too shady. Suitable exposure must go hand in hand with appropriate soil and watering. If you are moving a plant started indoors to the outdoors, gradually accustom it to garden conditions to avoid too abrupt a transition for young leaves.

How to adjust watering?

Water according to the actual moisture content of the soil, taking into account rain, heat, and wind. Check below the surface before deciding to water again: soil that is dry on the surface may still be moist at root level. Direct water to the base of the plant and allow it to penetrate, without keeping the planting in saturated soil. Containers generally require more frequent checks because they dry out faster. Make sure their drainage holes remain clear and empty any saucers that retain water. Also adapt care to the plant's cycle: active growth and a resting period do not require the same amount of water.

What to plan for container gardening?

Container gardening requires planning for the volume needed by the roots and the plant's final height. Choose a stable pot with drainage holes and a substrate suitable for planting. Leave enough space to respect the recommended depth and spacing, rather than crowding plants to immediately fill the pot. Place the container in the indicated exposure and regularly check for moisture, especially in hot or windy weather. A pot is more exposed to temperature variations than planting directly in the ground. Therefore, from the outset, plan a wintering location compatible with the plant's needs and your region's climate.

What care should be planned after the growing season?

During growth, maintain consistent moisture without letting the soil become waterlogged. Water at the base and remove damaged or wilted flowers to keep the plant tidy. Stems and leaves are fragile: handle the container with care and avoid pressing the plant between more vigorous neighbors. In Quebec, protect the tubers from frost to preserve them. When the foliage goes dormant, reduce watering and allow the aerial parts to wither before removing them. Store healthy tubers in a dry, airy, and frost-free place during winter, with their label, then check their condition before replanting.
