RE: soil recipe...

I usually use a basic one part peat, one part vermiculite, one generous part perlite. They do fine in this, but lately I've been experimenting with coir and composted bark mulch. They seem to be doing fine with that too, and of course it's more environmentally 'correct'. I think as long as it drains well but holds some moisture your begonias will be happy.
