Tuberous Begonias anyone ? Has anyone grown these indoor...

Tuberous Begonias anyone ? Has anyone grown these indoors ? Do they get to a small shrub size by fall? #nonstopbegoniamoccapink #MyPlantWantsToBeInternetFamous #optimizedsubstrate

Idk about shrub size but the gal I clean for has the same one & it has really taken off since she bought it a mo th ago!
I have no idea, but the blooms are spectacular!
@TexanExpat John I sure hope so! That plant has awesome color blooms. πŸ™ŒπŸ»πŸ’šβ€οΈπŸ’™β€οΈβ€πŸ”₯ can’t you just see that big plant in the fall with lots of blooms everywhere!! 🫠🫣😁 very pretty
@CuteChollipo @elisenavidad @CourtlyKingfern a lot of this is the result that I’ve accepted that I have a learning curve and they may not make it. I’ve milled 4 Rex begonias this year lol. But I learned something: when transplanting them don’t disturb the roots. in the potting mix they came in into the hole in the now pot /potting mix and wait to water at least a day. I’ll have to see how that goes. It turns out that begonias are one of the biggest genus. Thousands upon thousands. They take so many forms. The tuberous are distinct from the sempiflorems we are all most commonly acquainted with as they are used in bedding plants. What an outdated design element. In any event, in Europe the tuberous begonias are the most priced. There is an outfit in the UK that sells the most coveted tuberous begonias of allβ€”Blackmore & Langdone. They have only one North American distributor for their begonias which is white flower farms and they cost $89 for a tuber. I found mine at my local nursery. It’s called a nonstop mocha pink begonia which I’m rather find those it looks like $12. Apparently the begonias display at whiteflower is something people drive hundreds of miles ro see…
@TexanExpat John those begonias are beautiful!! You have definitely got the touch I believe! Outstanding for sure. And that nursery full of begonias.. heaven for sure
@TexanExpat John I looked on the White flower Nursery website they are all beautiful I think at some point I am going to want to see what I can do with one !! I thought the attached one was really pretty and the price is crazy like 72.00 but they sold out of it anyways. Lol
@CourtlyKingfern thank you :) considering they cost something like Β£12 in the UK maybe $18 USD, the exclusive distribution deal for Notth America amounts ton highest robbery on behalf of white flower farm. It makes me wonder about getting gouged on their other products. Not saying I won’t do it one day lol. I’m including a link to created if nonstop and many other types of begonias and plants. I like the mocca ones but there are many to choose from. https://www.benary.com/products/new-varieties
