Hi pot in 6inch pot and cover just lightly do not pour water on the bulb make a ditch around the inside edge of the pot. That way the bulb does not get to humid you should start now. Cause its very long to get them to sprout I poted mine 3 week ago and they are just started to get puffy. I fine begonia are the hardest bulbs to keep year to year that y I bye cliping for a dollar this time of year cause I have about 50 16 inch pot to plant so i need lots of begonias this year. I will try and place a leaf in a small pot and see if I can grow babies maybe that will be easer.Anna Lisa

The horticulturist at White Flower Farm which sells tuberous begonias (named varieties)from england told me that you plant english tubers in a soiless mix upon receiving them covering the, with an inch of whatever medium you use.California tubers ,however,should not be planted until sprouts appear. I do this with my named varieties from Blackmore and the ones from Antonelli's in California.
