The January sowing applies to, inter alia, continuously flowering and tuberous begonia, garden petunia, garden verbena, mexican verbena, Chinese and garden carnation or Peruvian heliotrope.
Plastic boxes and litter boxes with holes in the bottom are used for sowing.Plastic mini-pots provide better conditions for seed germination and seedling growth.Some of them even have a heated bottom.

For quilting plants and point sowing, it is worth using multi-cell pallets (multiplates) or multi-pots.The best sowing substrate is a ready-made peat substrate, i.e. high peat, deacidified and enriched with minerals.
It can also be a mixture of peat, sand and leaf earth or peat and sand with the addition of mineral fertilizers. Pour the prepared soil through a sieve into boxes, level it and tamp it lightly. Then the seeds are sown in projections or in rows and covered with a small layer of soil or sand through a sieve.
The whole thing is gently moistened, covered with glass or foil and placed in a well-lit place.We maintain the temperature of 18-20ºC and the substrate constantly moist. The seedlings are quilted when their leaves begin to touch each other.
