begonia tuber broken
Hi, was taking out my begonia million dollar passion tuber to repot, and I
was just seeing if any part of the tuber was going to come off the main one, and lo and behold the darn thing broke in two.....I have put them in pots, what are my chances of success, if any, thanks |

That's how I have increased the one I got from my mothers greenhouse after she died (in 1993), by cutting up the tuber into chunks. -- Regards Bob Hobden |

Do you need to dust the cut surface with sulphur or some other fungicide? Also, don't you need to have a bud on each chunk? -- Jeff |
