How to Planting Tuberous Begonia
Love begonia? How about planting it in your garden, and enjoy the flowers while you have tea time? Below is tutorial for planting tuberous begonia. Tuberous Begonias take a while to show growth and in order to get a jump start on the fl owering season we recommend that you start your tubers indoors and then transplant them to their containers once budding leaves form. To encourage earlier budding we would like to recommend you follow these steps:
The most important requirement for the medium used to start tubers into growth is excellent drainage – we recommend a plain mix of 50/50 peat and coarse sand. Place the mix in containers or trays that are at least 2.5″/6 cm deep and place them directly on a heat source if available i.e. heating pad, top of fridge – if a heat source is not available place the containers in a warm, well-lit situation.
Push the tubers into the prepared mix, bud side up (the rounded side is the root side!). Tubers should have at least 2″/5 cm of space all around to allow for good root growth and should then be thinly covered with additional mix to encourage them to grow roots over their whole surface. Check the mixture for moisture – it is most important to avoid over watering especially if bottom heat is lacking. Once the top growth has reached at least 3″/7 cm the tubers can be transferred to their planting container – it is important that this container also provide good drainage.
When transferring the root ball to the new container do not press the mix down too firmly as the young roots are very tender and again, over watering should be avoided at this stage while growth is slow. Once outdoors choose a shady spot protected from wind and when they are actively growing keep them evenly moist.
