Begonia tubers
I saved some begonia tubers from last year and have set them off in a heated propagator and have discovered some little seeds sprouting from the tubers. The begonias were originally planted in a hanging basket along with some other basket plants by Jean Genie

Begonia Corms
Despite my advance years I am a novice gardener.  I am advised to lift my begonias, wait for the foliage to die, remove the excess earth, sprinkle with BULB DUST, wrap individually and store in a cool dry place until next spring. What is BULB DUST by Carol Thomas

Begonia Aricot shades
little ann ?  are they begonias ? Written in the OP !  ... Begonias..... Brumbull wrote (see) what plants have you ordered little ann ?  are they begonias ? These plugs may form tubers by the end of the year, you can save these, dry them off and restart by little-ann

How to plant Begonias
I've bought some begonia tubers and some of them have started to sprout shoots, albeit only a very little. I want them in hanging baskets so is it ok to plant them in the baskets now and keep them indoors until all risk of frost has gone? How deep by tattianna
