Last of my begonia tubers drying out in the living room! The Dark Elegance was great this year and plant to try dividing for the first time when(if) it buds again like last year. I just wrap in newspaper and store in the shed over winter which I hope is ok? Worked for begonia, pelargonium and dhalia last time so fingers crossed!

@mikejc .......that's what I do Mike and my BEGONIA corms have lasted years. Never tried dividing them though so will be very interested to see what happens next year :)

@flof1952 good morning Pauline glad to hear I'm on the right track. Apparently as soon as the first buds show in spring I can carefully divide ensuring full healthy buds are kept then put back into pots/ trays to grow on for planting when ready. Fingers x'd eh!
