BEGONIA (TUBEROUS) CONTINUED OTHER TIPS * Dislodge the 72 Liners from their cells within the liner tray when planting. This will avoid breaking the plants at the soil line or "tearing" the roots from the tray's cell. * When planting baskets or upright containers using multiple 72 cell plants, be certain to plant each plant with its leaf tips/ growing shoot facing outward. This will produce a fuller and more attractive container. * Under short days, provide the plants with daylength extension or night interruption lighting to avoid tuber formation. * Do not allow temperatures to fall below 60 F or tubers/dormancy can occur, even if providing long day lighting. * Avoid over-watering and over-feeding Begonias. Both can cause serious plant health issues. * Pinching can be done if needed to control height or shape containers. * When planting multi-planted containers, it is helpful to "size match" the plants used in each container.
