How to collect seeds and overwinter Begonia

Harvesting Methods of Begonia Varieties

The main maturity period of Begonia seeds is from May to June every year. Because the maturity period is different, the seeds need to be harvested in batches. After flowering, the capsule is green when it first grows, and it is ripe when its color changes to brown.

The time for harvesting is now, and it must be harvested quickly, otherwise the capsule will naturally crack and the seeds will fall out of the capsule, and there will be no way to get the seeds.

Therefore, when it becomes too wet and turns brown, it needs to be harvested immediately. Tear open the fruit wings and the seeds will fall out. After drying, they can be stored in a dry place.

How to Overwinter Begonia

Before bringing begonias indoors, they should be properly exposed to the low temperatures in autumn so that they can adapt to and improve their disease and cold resistance.

After entering the room
