I think if I read back to the beginning someone has told me, if not I will be asking don't worry I need to get a replacement red one I think as it seems you have died. I'm also going to get some orange ones for next year
Can anyone please help?! I've put my corms in their pots and covered them very lightly with compost so you can still see the corms - when do I start watering them? Do I keep the compost moist or just leave them until they shoot and then water them? Thank you!
Thank you Edd - I should have mentioned my begonias are in a potting shed - I won't take them outside til the last frosts, I just wondered if I keep them damp as they get no rain water?

Useful thread for me. I have overwintered two begonias for the first time. I have followed the advice on here so hopefully they will start to sprout. My only concern is that it was quite late when I put them in pots in the greenhouse so I hope It wasn't too late.
Hmmm I'm not sure if I've done the right thing - I put them in compost in Feb but only just watered them on Edd's advice today! Oh well this gardening malarkey is a learning curve! Love my new hobby though!

Thank you, the orange is lovely, but as I said, they are inside so no weather damage.
These corms have been used for years, when its time to dry them off come back and someone will help you.
Its easy to keep them from year to year.

Over winter them every year, have started them off late this year but should be OK
