Planting guide

Plant well.Grow beautifully.

Growing method

Start the tubers in spring in a light, well-draining substrate, placing their hollow side upwards. Water sparingly before shoots appear and avoid water remaining in the hollow. Keep young plants protected from frost 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 acclimate plants outdoors to wind and light, without stressing new shoots. During growth, maintain regular 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 among 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 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 rotting. 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 tuber's hollow, 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 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 drain away from the root zone. Work the soil when it is dry to avoid compacting it. Adapt amendments to its actual texture. In containers, use appropriate potting soil and a pot with drainage holes. Keep these openings clear and avoid any water accumulation in the saucer.

Fertilization

Apply liquid fertilizer for flowering plants every 15 days. Follow the dosage instructions on the fertilizer packaging and measure the quantity before applying. Take into account any compost or other nutrients already provided to avoid overfeeding 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 facing 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 planted 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 plants outdoors to accustom them to wind and light, without shocking new growth. 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 crowding the plant among more vigorous neighbours. 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, and frost-free place during winter, with their label, then check their condition before replanting. Throughout 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 that degrades around the base.

Container growing

A garden,within reach.

Growing in containers requires planning for the volume needed for the roots and the final height of the plant. 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 fill the pot immediately. Place the container in the indicated exposure and regularly check the moisture level, especially in hot or windy weather. A pot is more exposed to temperature variations than planting in open ground. Therefore, plan an overwintering location from the start that is compatible with the plant's needs and your region's climate.

Garden associations

In goodcompany.

Companion plants

To accompany Begonia Super Novelty ‘Samba’, you can consider coleus, heucheras, or impatiens. Choose neighboring varieties based on their height, flowering period, and the colors you want to combine. Most importantly, ensure that their exposure and water needs are suitable for the same location. Leave enough space so that leaves do not obscure young shoots and so that you can easily access each plant during maintenance. These combinations are for creating the garden's decor; 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 'Samba'?
Start the tubers in spring in a light, well-draining substrate, placing their hollow side upwards. Water sparingly until shoots appear and prevent water from collecting in the hollow. Keep young plants frost-free until conditions allow them to be planted outdoors. Choose a bright location protected from direct sun and strong winds. In pots, ensure drainage holes are clear and adjust watering according to foliage development. Gradually acclimate the plants outdoors to wind and light, without stressing new shoots.
What kind of light should I provide for Begonia Super Novelty 'Samba'?
The recommended exposure is semi-shade. Observe the light in 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 planting as it develops. In a container, place the pot where you can move it if conditions become too hot or too shaded. Appropriate exposure must go hand in hand with suitable 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 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 on a new watering: soil that is dry on the surface may still be moist at root level. Direct the water to the base of the plant 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 retain water. Also, adapt care to the plant's cycle: active growth and a resting period do not require the same amount of watering.
What to plan for container gardening?
Container gardening requires you to plan for the necessary volume for the roots and the final height of the plant. 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 for moisture, especially in hot or windy weather. A pot is more exposed to temperature variations than a plant in the ground. Therefore, from the outset, plan for a wintering location compatible with the plant's needs and your region's climate.
What aftercare is needed 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 tidy. The stems and leaves are fragile: handle the container with care and avoid placing the plant too close to more vigorous neighbors. In Quebec, protect the tubers from frost for preservation. When the foliage goes dormant, reduce watering and allow the aerial parts to die back before removing them. Store healthy tubers in a dry, airy, frost-free place over winter, with their labels, then check their condition before replanting.
