Planting guide

Plant well.Grow beautifully.

Growing method

Start tubers in spring in a light, well-draining substrate, placing their hollow side up. Water sparingly before shoots appear and avoid leaving water in the hollow. Keep young plants frost-free until conditions allow them to be planted outdoors. Choose a bright location protected from scorching sun and strong winds. In pots, keep drainage holes clear and adjust watering to foliage development. Gradually introduce plants outdoors to acclimate them to wind and light, without stressing 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 with care and avoid crowding the plant with more vigorous neighbors. In Quebec, protect tubers from frost for storage. When foliage goes dormant, reduce watering and allow aerial parts to wither before removing them. Store healthy tubers in a dry, airy, frost-free place during winter, with their label, 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 begins to dry, without allowing the entire root ball to dry out. Pour water onto the potting mix, avoiding the hollow of the tuber, leaves, and flowers. Allow excess water to drain and empty the saucer. Check hanging baskets more often in hot or windy weather. Gradually reduce watering as the leaves naturally yellow.

Soil type

Use light soil rich in organic matter, which 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 crumbly to avoid compaction. Adapt amendments to its actual texture. For container plants, use appropriate potting soil and a pot with drainage holes. Keep these openings clear and avoid any water accumulation in the saucer.

Fertilization

Apply a liquid fertilizer for flowering plants every two weeks. Follow the dosage indicated on your fertilizer's packaging and measure the quantity before applying it. Take into account compost and other previous applications to avoid double-feeding the same plant. Distribute the product according to its instructions for use; avoid concentrated contact with roots or storage organs.

Seasonal care

Start the tubers in spring in a light, well-draining substrate, placing their hollow side upwards. Water sparingly before shoots appear and avoid water collecting in the hollow. Keep young plants frost-free until conditions allow them to be planted outdoors. Choose a bright location protected from scorching sun and strong winds. In pots, ensure drainage holes are clear and adjust watering to foliage development. Gradually acclimatize plants outdoors to wind and light, without stressing new shoots. During growth, maintain consistent moisture without letting the soil become waterlogged. Water at the base and remove damaged or withered flowers to keep the plant tidy. Stems and leaves are fragile: handle the container with care and avoid crowding the plant between more vigorous neighbors. In Quebec, protect tubers from frost to preserve them. When foliage goes dormant, reduce watering and allow aerial parts to die back before removing them. Store healthy tubers in a dry, airy, frost-free place during 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 its dormancy. Clean tools after cutting diseased parts and remove decaying debris around the base.

Container growing

A garden,within reach.

Container growing requires you to provide sufficient volume for the roots and the plant's final height. Choose a stable pot with drainage holes and a suitable growing medium. Leave enough space to respect the recommended depth and spacing, rather than crowding the plants to immediately fill the pot. Place the container in the recommended 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 for a wintering location from the start that is compatible with the plant's needs and your region's climate. Start the tubers in spring in a light, well-draining substrate, placing their hollow side facing up. Water sparingly before shoots appear and prevent water from remaining in the hollow. Keep young plants protected from frost until conditions allow them to be placed outdoors. Choose a bright location protected from scorching sun and strong winds. In pots, keep the drainage holes clear and adjust watering to the foliage development. Gradually acclimate the plants outdoors to wind and light, without shocking 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 ‘Pink Wave’, you could consider coleus, heuchera, or impatiens. Choose companion varieties based on their height, flowering period, and the colors you wish to combine. Most importantly, ensure that their sun exposure and water requirements are suitable for the same location. Leave enough space so that leaves don't obscure young shoots and to allow easy access to each plant during maintenance. These combinations are for designing the garden's aesthetics; they do not guarantee protection against pests or diseases. Adjust the layout after observing one growing season.

Frequently asked questions

Your questions,answered.

How to successfully plant Begonia Super Novelty ‘Pink Wave’?
In spring, start the tubers in a light, well-draining substrate, with the concave side facing upwards. Water sparingly until sprouts appear and avoid water collecting in the hollow. Keep young plants frost-free until conditions allow them to be planted outdoors. Choose a bright location protected from strong sun and winds. If potting, ensure drainage holes are clear and adjust watering according to foliage development. Gradually acclimate plants outdoors to wind and light, without shocking new growth.
What light should I plan for Begonia Super Novelty ‘Pink Wave’?
The recommended exposure is semi-shade. Observe the light at the 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 plant as it develops. If in a container, 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 move a plant started indoors to the outdoors, gradually accustom it to garden conditions to avoid too abrupt a transition for the young leaves.
How do I adjust the watering?
Water according to the actual soil moisture, taking into account rain, heat, and wind. Check below the surface before deciding on further watering: soil that is dry on the surface may still be moist at the root level. Direct the water to the base and allow it to penetrate, without keeping the plant 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 collect water. Also, adapt care to the plant's cycle: active growth and a dormant period do not require the same amount of water.
What to plan for container gardening?
Container gardening requires planning for the necessary root volume and the plant's final height. Choose a stable pot with drainage holes and a suitable growing medium. Leave enough space to respect the recommended depth and spacing, rather than crowding plants to fill the pot immediately. Place the container in the recommended exposure and regularly check the moisture, especially in hot or windy weather. A pot is more exposed to temperature variations than planting in the ground. Therefore, plan from the outset for an overwintering location compatible with the plant's needs and your region's climate.
What care should be provided after the growing season?
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 clean. Stems and leaves are fragile: handle the container with care and avoid pressing the plant between more vigorous neighbours. In Quebec, protect the tubers from frost to preserve them. When the foliage goes dormant, reduce watering and let the aerial parts wither before removing them. Keep healthy tubers in a dry, airy, and frost-free place over winter, with their label, then check their condition before replanting.
