| I recently upgraded the fluorescent lights on my plant stand, and the cuttings I started over the summer have done very well. My question is, if I purchased some small starts of rhizomatous begonias this fall, would they actually grow over the winter, or just sit there until spring before doing anything? |

| They should grow quite nicely under lights. I grow hundreds under lights in winter and most put on new leaves after the stress of moving them indoors wears off in a few weeks. |

| Ok, thanks! I am just hoping to get a little jump start, planning ahead for next year. My plants already look so much better, switching from T12 to T8 fluorescent bulbs. |

| I've been switching my T12 to T8 as the bulbs burn out. Now LED lights seem to be the way to go. Always something new and better. |
