Hi friend just Subscribed ur channel…hope you will support back
And a big thank you from me too! Sun is shining, so I’m going to start the process of storing and overwintering my Begonias, before it rains again. Kind regards Dee
Begonia corms sometime to dig
I received a begonia as a gift and i know nothing about it…I've seen that it's dying and i panicked. Now…i see that it's normal for the stems to fall, lol…
I really need to dig it out? My lord…i need help :))
Which soil is needed for begonia (garden soil or cow compost)

How cold of a winter can the begonia corms handle in the greenhouse? Where else could they be stored if you don’t have a greenhouse?
Anyway I can just keep it in soil and place it in basement without watering it for the whole winter ?
Thanks for video. I use a trowel from the edge of the soil to lift & loosen the soil.
this was so easy to follow thankyou, other sites have suggested leaving the corms outside for a week but rain is forecast so is that step not necessary? Also my begonias still look full of life so I am loath to do them just yet but also worried about frost?!!!
Fleece? I think of fleece as heavy fabric. Is it something you can buy at a garden center? Could you put them in an old pillowcase?
Great
Thank you for this video. I was given begonias earlier this year from a friend who had the most amazing display of begonias every year and who has sadly passed away. I am hopefully going to carry on his tradition and keep these going year to year. I didn’t know ‘how to’ but thanks to your video, fingers crossed, I will now be able to.
Hello, I have my begonias in 2 pots. I didn't dig them out last year so maybe I should this year. How often do you have to take them out of the pot and store them for winter?
Thank you for your reply. I live in Dublin so I dug them out today and I plan to keep them in an old pillow case ☺️
Hi Adam, nice video. Where can I store my begonia tubers if I don't have a shed or greenhouse?
My begonia is in a smaller pot and i moved it inside my house … do i need to make da same process as u did or leave them like this during the winter
I dug mine up about 2 months ago and shook off the compost and then stored them in a brown paper bag. Have I ruined them or could I add some compost to the bag?
Thanks for this. Much simpler process than some other videos on YouTube. I've never managed to successfully overwinter my Begonia Corms, so here goes again!
Are we not supposed to dry them out first before overwintering them
I forgot to do mine, it's probably a goner by now lol
Can we make more tubers from one begonia tuber?
Question: can I remove stems and leave the corms in the dry soil in the pot and let them overwinter in my basement?
Awesone ty
That was brilliant. I intend sorting mine out today (20/10/2021.) I've never grown begonias before this year and they were gorgeous. I'm worried about mould though? Won't putting wet corms away encourage rot? I thought they needed to be dry before storing? Apologies if I'm wrong.
