Newbie Questions 'Eyes'

19 years ago

Have just bought my first tubers to plant indoors (from Walmart - want to make sure it works before I invest in any more expensive ones). I have always purchased these wonderful begonias growing in pots, and they do beautifully on my patio, and thought I'd like to try a more cost effective way of getting as many as I need!

The tubers do not have any "eyes" yet, and I've read that it is important that they do before they are planted. My questions are: How do I store the tubers, or what do I do now, to help them get eyes? Should I just put them in a cold place, as if I've been storing them all winter? Or should I treat them somehow or other to make the eyes come?

I can't seem to find this kind of info anywhere. Any help (and any other hints) will be appreciated! Thanks.
