Begonia tubers sprouted

granomeara

I have some begonia tubers which I thought were in a cold place for winter. Some have creamy coloured shoots about 4cms long. If I break them off will they come again or should I pot them up with the shoots under the compost? Thank you.

Thanks Philippa smith2 Yes I did overwinter them myself but this is the first time I have had such shoots/sprouts.  Should I leave the shoots sticking up above the compost is what I am bothered about.  I will contact Lyn if I can.

Hello granomeara. Those pale shoots will turn green in the daylight so all you need to do is plant the begonia tubers as usual leaving the shoots above the compost.

That is good news Ladybird4.  Thank you.
