| This is my second year for waking up begonia tubers so I'm by no means an expert but this is what has worked for me... I keep/store each tuber in it's own small paper bag and place them in a cool area of the house (I dont have room to bring in the containers). Mid February/early March I take the bags out of cool storage and bring them into room temperature. Within two weeks they have sprouts. I put them in some moist (not too wet) peat moss in 4' pots and cover with about 1/2 inch of more peat moss. You don't want them to get too wet since they don't have roots yet. I have the pots in a sunny window. I will probably put them under grow lights if I have room (but it's not necessary). I hope this helps. Check out www.begonias.ca for great information on waking up begonias. |
