  For begonia semperflorens (bedding begonias), put two or three seedlings together into a 3 inch pot. a small clump will develop, you dont have to separate each one.

   Use a fine compost designated for seedlings eg Levington S1, and you can add a small amount of perlite to keep it free draining.

  Thank you fidgetbones your advise is good although my seeds are doubles it would be better if I could transplant separately,any further suggestions.

  I have pelleted ones which were easier to separate and have had about 90% germination rate im growing them under lights though the seedings are tiny I nearly missed them at first

  If its the very fine seed, mix with sand and sow thinly to make it easier to prick out.
