We often get asked how to sow Begonia successfully. We find them easy but have been doing it for some years - the main thing is warmth, light and humidity. We use a peat-free compost with added horticultural sand and surface sow the tiny seeds as they need light to germinate. We could go into more detail but space won't permit so here is a good, detailed link for those who would like to give it a try: https://www.begonias.org/sowing-the-seeds/
