# Can You Save Begonias From One Year To The Next?

Begonia plants are some of the most beloved flowers used in gardening, with their lush blossoms adding bright pops of color and texture to any garden or patio space they grace. While many people enjoy these plants, they often throw away their begonias when cold weather hits and their tops die off, not knowing that they can be saved through the winter months and planted again come spring time! With some proper preparation and storage, you can easily save your tuberous begonia from one year to the next, ensuring gorgeous blooms all season long!

## Tuberous Begonia Basics

Before we dive into exactly how you can save your tuberous begonia from one year to the next, let’s quickly review what makes this particular type of begonia special. Tuberous begonias are a type of perennial flower that grows from an underground tuber root system—unlike other species that grow from bulbs or seeds—which makes them particularly easy to save over winters months as long as you know what you’re doing! They bloom in a variety of colors, including white, pink, orange, yellow, red, purple and bi-color combinations which are sure to add life to any garden or patio space!

## How To Save Tubers For The Next Year

So now that you know a bit more about tuberous begonias let’s get into exactly how you can save them from one year to the next! As mentioned previously, this type of begonia is grown from an underground root system known as tubers which makes them incredibly easy to store in preparation for replanting come spring time! Here’s how it’s done…

### Step 1: Prepare The Tubers

After your plants have died back due to cold weather it is time to harvest your tubers in preparation for storage over winter months. Begin by carefully digging around each plant until you’ve uncovered all of its tubers—it is important not to damage them during this process! Once all tubers have been dug up it is important that you clean off any remaining dirt before storing them away—you can do this by lightly brushing them with a soft brush or cloth.

### Step 2: Store In A Dry Place

Now that your tubers have been cleaned off it is time to store them away until springtime planting season! It is important that they are stored somewhere cool (but not freezing) and dry such as an attic or basement—avoid storing them somewhere too humid or wet as this could cause mold or rot which will lead to plants not blooming again come springtime! Another great option is storing your tubers outdoors in containers filled with sawdust or peat moss which should last through even extreme temperatures without causing damage!

### Step 3: Provide Optimal Conditions For Replanting

After you’ve stored your tubers away it is important that they remain at optimal conditions until ready for springtime planting season—this means making sure they stay cool but not freezing (ideally around 40°F) so check on them periodically throughout winter months just make sure everything’s alright! Additionally, check on moisture levels regularly as well making sure its neither too dry nor too wet—you want a nice balance between both so keep adjusting if necessary come springtime planting season!

### Step 4: Replanting Tubers In Springtime

When warmer weather arrives it’s time get ready for planting season once more! Begin by preparing soil just like you would any other flower bed but make sure it has good drainage—tuberous begonias don’t like soggy soil so avoid having any standing water after watering sessions. Once soil is prepped place your tubers into ground at least two inches deep with eyes facing up then cover lightly with soil before watering thoroughly—you should see sprouts within two weeks if everything was done correctly!

## Common Problems With Replanting Tubers & Tips For Vibrant Blooms Again Next Year

While these steps should ensure successful storage and replanting of your tuberous begonias there are some common problems that may arise during this process including rot due too much moisture buildup during storage or scorching caused by too much direct sunlight once planted outside again come springtime! To prevent these issues make sure follow instructions closely when preparing and storing accordingly while also monitoring moisture levels post-planting as well being careful not too overwater when caring for plants after being planted outside once more! Additionally taking foliar feedings throughout growing season can help promote healthy blooms—just mix diluted fertilizer solution into water every two weeks during summer months (May-August) according top manufacturer instructions then apply directly onto leaves using spray bottle attachment if available otherwise water directly onto ground below plants instead (avoiding foliage). With these tips in mind be sure enjoy vibrant blooms from your beloved tuberous begonias all summer long year after year!

## Conclusion

While many people throw out their beloved tuberous begonias once cold weather hits there’s no need too! With some proper preparation and storage techniques mentioned above you can easily save these beautiful flowers from one year to the next ensuring gorgeous blooms all summer long each year no matter what Mother Nature throws at us- so get ready start saving today enjoy vibrant blossoms come 2021 no matter what Mother Nature throws at us!!
