    @PanAmerican Seed Is there a way to store these and use them the next year? I have unpelleted petunia seeds that last for many years. Pelleted seeds are down to 10-20% viability in year two. Is there anything to do about this?

    Para saber si una semilla está correctamente peletizado,coloca 10 cápsulas de petri con agua y colocas 10 semillas peletizadas ese conteo por cápsulas le daría el 100 por ciento

    Stupid comment but.
    How can you make sure each pellet only has ONE seed per pellet..

      For small seed like begonia, one seed per pellet takes an experienced pelleter to produce. It takes about 2 years to train an employee to pellet every type of seed we produce. Begonia is one of the last crops they learn as it can be difficult to produce a batch without empties or doubles. The type of powder we use, how we apply the powder, and a lot of experience is how we can achieve one seed per pellet. Thanks for the question!

      @@PASVideoTV One of the first things I learnt about flower seed when I started out in the Nursery business 33 years ago was how fine Begonia seed actually is. A figure of 81000 seed per gram is still stuck in my head, lol. Not sure if that is accurate for Begonia Semperflorens, the varieties we grow in 6 packs here in South Africa.
      You literally cannot sow it by hand, its so fine, like dust. I've sown a gram of Begonia seed in a few centimetres of space, the trouble comes when you want to prick out those tiny plants.
      So, we leave our Begonia sowing to Ball/Straathof in Gauteng who supply our Nursery with flower plug seedlings.
