Hope you are giving it another try! I love how each year they survive they continue to get bigger and more impressive.

@@theangrygardener yes going to give another try, following you instructions thank you very clear instructions.

I try to respond to all comments. So far for my propagation needs I just use the run of the mill rooting powder found in most big box stores. So much of what I propagate likely would root without it. I’ve not delved into the gels or different strength options yet outside of guidance when helping with a propagation group in my local master gardeners group. Like the gel, but dang that’s spendy

Ha! Yes always painful for me too…might post a video or a live post of chopping them all off this year ….

Just a side hobby currently. I’ll keep you in mind

@@theangrygardener Thanks for letting me know! That’s great-side hobbies are often the most fun. If you ever decide to take it further or need a hand with anything, don’t hesitate to reach out. I'm always happy to help!

Cause they bring tons of joy! 🤪

Yes when you propagate from a tuberous begonia the new plant will form a tuber as well. It takes some time, but within a growing season.

I’m not familiar with Dragon wing. Is that a common name or a variety? My method works reliably with the tuberous patio begonias…

Haha! Such helpful bunnies!

I’m there with you. If one has the space, bringing them inside is sooo much easier. I will likely still store a few as just tubers, but have the space this season to just bring the pots inside!

How wonderful to hear! Best of luck on your garden journey!

Yes , when I store in bag or box with peat or similar I remove all but a very small portion of the stem. I need a little stem left to dry to remind me which way is up when I replant 🤷🏼‍♂️

Happy gardening!

I envy you and your climate!!! I am however slowly finding those varieties that are cold hardy for my zone and look forward to seeing those return and spread.

Thanks for stopping by and checking it out!

Ha! I totally forgot about the quiet sign!

It’s a good idea to avoid that. In my experience if they dry out they won’t have any life left to regrow. A little shriveling is usually ok, but need to be some juice left in there for them to come back. If in doubt pot them up in smaller pots and cross your fingers.

You’ll want to avoid that…if they dry out too much they won’t likely grow. There needs to be some life juice in there. If you think they have dried out completely, perhaps pot in a small pot with soils to see if they sprout before giving up.

Hahaha ok will do thanks so much 👍

@@theangrygardener 🤞

Alas I had a winter project that needed the greenhouse so I didn’t have space. My patio collection of plants fighting for winter greenhouse space has gotten large. This was a great space saving option. I will say the time spent repotting in the spring was unreal lol. I cry a little bit inside each October when I cut back my begonias and geraniums for winter storage.

Could the Aphrodite Rose starts be replanted as house plants so they could develope tubers next year?

@@lisamallant2029 that’s definitely an option in my opinion, though I’ve not trialed that.

Sweet! Good luck!

I'm just doing mine in wigan 😂

@@lawrencemcnally3164 🙃

I had great success! Check out my over winter begonias video if you need any tips. Get it done !

Thanks for stopping by and checking it out!

I’ve not tried just putting them in a bag without some damp material. …doing so would likely cause your tubers to dry out quickly and likely fail. Perhaps larger tubers and occasional water soak thru the winter could be successful. If you give it a try I’d love to hear your results

You totally can, take some cuttings for insurance, then put the pot and all into a cool area so it can go dormant. Then check monthly so it doesn’t get super dry until February or March then water good and put in a warmer area so it can come back to life. Alternatively depending on the size of the plant you could bring it inside to grow thru the winter

@@theangrygardener, and when they are inside how much water do they need during a winter? Do they lose leaves? If they lose leaves will they still regrow?

@@evabrent9347 they will loose all leaves and leave you with what appears to be a pot of soil. I water about once a month sparingly so the tubers don’t get too dry.

Careful like a good potato chip you can’t stop with just one amazing begonia! Thanks for stopping by!

😂😂 I just assumed it was a tuberous one…thank goodness I was able to get cuttings to grow 🤦‍♂️

In my experience my starts didn’t flower over winter. That being said, I propagated in a greenhouse that was only kept about 50 degrees so it was a slow process

I trim them back for space, as they go dormant and dry up remove them.

Thank you! They really are thriving this season!

The potted tuberous ones where random big box store purchases I planted and grew, each year they get more impressive. The hanging baskets where either big box tuber purchases or garden center. My experience , one needs to find the right light/water and they thrive. Keep trying!

Also, sorry to hear about your best friend :(

It depends on lighting and location.

Thank you for watching. This season has had many great wins despite the cold spring

I’ll work on that!

We are thinking about painting him…might be a winter project. My wife loved him also! Thank you so much!!

Happy Gardening!

Thanks for watching!

Most were gifted and sadly I lost the others this past winter as I had them in pots that froze during our little freeze we had. I had forgotten to get them out of the rain before the cold temps arrived.

Ah yes. Thanks for that

Ha! Yes that’s the saying….. thanks for watching!

Thank you!

My son in law was good enough to make it for me! Love it! And now the banana is starting to show so great growth…can’t wait to see how big it gets!

Amazing what a little nice weather does to the garden!

Thank you. Still trying to figure it out in hopes to improve

@@theangrygardener I know you will improve your journey. But I saw your channel video. These valuable videos of yours are not generating the expected views. You've been making tons of videos for over a year. By now your channel should be advanced. I speak as a TH-cam expert. I sent you an email. And emailed you an audit report on why your channel isn't growing. Ok I will wait for your email. I would like to talk to you in more detail. thanks

🤪🤷🏼‍♂️

Agreed! I saw them a few months back and knew they would be good for my decor. Sealing them up then putting them on display.

They were planted this spring. Should have waited to plant. Mother’s Day weekend just felt right , probably should pay closer attention to extended weather forecast …

Thank you! Welcome to my world!

I agree!

I'll bear with you but doesn't that rooster drive you nuts?!

@@maria-giulianalatini1724 funny I find the rooster adds to the tropical vibe I’m going for. Like being in the island of Kuai which is full of them.

@@theangrygardener well, you have converted me to begonias! You have made them gorgeous in my eyes.

I’ll keep my eye out for that rose and a spot to put it! Musa Musa Musa!!! 🤪

Never stop gardening! New opportunities around every corner! Just wait for my next addition!

Here’s hoping something exciting happens this week in the garden!
