How to Plant Begonias in Containers

The best performance of tuberous begonias is achieved when a relatively large pot is used. Good root systems will result from using large pots and frequent drying of medium will be avoided. A good rule of thumb for uprights is to choose a pot about four times the diameter of the tuber. ??Plant tubers directly into container, bulbs concave side up. Cover with 1/2″ potting soil. Multiple begonia bulbs can be planted per pot. Here is our recommendations.

Medium (1.75-2″) 3 Medium (1.75-2″) 1
