I grow the Dragon Wing every year for about five years now.
I planted seed on January 14th. Here is the set up I use. They are in a greenhouse that is heated to only about 60-65 but on a heat mat set at 70 and covered with the clear plastic dome. If the seed need a bit of water they get spray from the hand pump sprayer filled with tea solution.

I fill my flats with redi-earth soil. It's a seed starting soil. Water with a soulution of Chamomile tea to wet the tray with the soil. I make the tea at 2 cups water with on tea bag. Then pour that into gal. watering can and fill with more water.
Here are my begonias today
