My Begonias need your help!!!!!!!!!!

| During my fall cleaning in the basement, I just discovered my poor begonias I could not find this spring. It was such a sad sight. The poor things have apparently been trying to grow all summer. They are about four or five inches long and the growth is a sickly pale pink color. Are they doomed? Do I cut them back and put away for the winter again? Will they have enough energy left for regrowth next spring? Should I plant them now and try to grow for a while and then cut them back? Any advice for my poor begonias would be greatly appreciated. |

| The pale pink growth is probably due to no light and etiolation. If they are potted they should grow. I am not sure about cutting them back again and trying for next year. I would think that you wouldn't get good growth from them as they have already started to expend their energy. If it were me I would plant and grow under lights or in a bright window as a house plant. |
