Caring for your plant:
- To encourage early flowering start tubers off in February/March in a seed tray/box with potting compost. Bury tuber so that the top (concave end) is just covered. Once sprouted transplant into larger pot. Then harden off towards the end of May, so that your begonia is ready to plant outside at the beginning of June
- In Autumn as the leaves turn yellow allow your containers to dry out. Lift the tubers and store in a dry place until the following Spring
