The ones I started from tubers are being slow this year The ones I started from seed have been blooming for a while. Are you using a fertilizer meant to encourage blooms? What to put in these planters? Balcony living. Plant suggestion. Retaining wall. I planted lots of double Begonias bulbs at the end of April in containers,I am left with just large bushy green leaves which look healthy,but they are not flowering,will they flower,or should i just dig them out.
Thank you. I stopped in at Aladdin Nursery last week. One of the Antonelli Begonia people works there now. I bought a couple of tuberous begonias, a fuzzy cane and some fuchsia. He told me to use an even numbered soluble fertilizer on my tuberous begonias every two weeks,'it helps'. I have started that routine. I have noticed that I am getting smaller flowers then the first flush of blooms. I am testing the theory that I get a big flower first from stored up energy and that flowering is depleting my tubers.
If I fertilize I can build energy for next year. I have 'On Top' tuberous begonias in a flower bed under a Japanese maple tree. The first 2 rows are blooming well and the last row have good foliage and no flowers. I am guessing the back row have too much shade. I am not doing a thing about it. May was too cool and wet. Too bad I'm not into cactus! In our high altitude ' August is the big blooming month. If you bought tuberhybrida as Non-Stop starter plants from a nursery they are usually blooming when you get them.
My Pin-up Flame grown from seed bloomed very early on, makes me wishthe others could or would do that. These plants originated from 7 plants all growing in the Andes, so cool growing conditions are supposed to be their thing. I guess we just have to be patient.

The common wax begonia, or semperflorens, is one of the best-known varieties of the plant. Its leaves have a waxy appearance and flowers that are red, white or pink. Shrub begonias can grow very large, and they are not as common.
Tuberous begonias are known for their showy flowers, and are either upright or trailing. Their flowers can be single, double, toothed or ruffled, in shades of pink, salmon, yellow, orange, red and white. Cane begonias have straight stems, interesting leaves and clusters of flowers; dragon wing and angel wing begonias are cane types. Popular for hanging baskets, trailing begonias can have year-round flowers in some climates.
Rhizomatous begonias are another variety and can develop into large plants. When the first number, nitrogen is largest, this means it is promoting green growth. But if he is using a soilless potting mix, almost all of them come with fertilizer in them already. If he used a commercially prepared mix, he should not have to worry about the soil pH. So I don't know what he is trying to do with all the fertilizer. All he can do is wait and see if these begonias with produce any flowers later in the season.
There are no diseases, insects or obvious physiological problems that cause a lack of flowers. I still don't know how he could be keeping these in an unheated garage over the winter.
Maybe you can guide him onto an enlightened path. Thank you again. Method 2. Avoid imbalanced fertilizers. Giving your begonias fertilizer with too much nitrogen in it, for example, will encourage them to grow more leaves than flowers. Store tubers indoors over winter to protect them from the elements. Begonias are sensitive to dramatic temperature changes. Cut the foliage back to some short stems, then let the root ball dry out in a cool, dry spot for a few weeks. Remove the remaining soil, stems, and roots, then pack the tuber away in dry peat for the winter.
Plant them in pots once you see roots and shoots appearing. Wait on moving the tubers back outside until the last frost has passed. Allow the soil surface to dry between waterings to prevent bud drop. Too much or too little water can cause your begonia to drop its buds before they have a chance to bloom.
To make sure your begonia is getting the right amount of water, check the soil at least every other day. Wait until the surface of the soil dries out before you water your plants again. Insert your finger into the soil 2—3 inches 5. Use a natural pesticide to keep away earwigs and caterpillars. Earwigs and caterpillars both like to munch on begonia blossoms. If you notice that your flowers are looking ratty and chewed-on, keep an eye out for these common begonia pests.
Always read the precautions and instructions on any pesticide before using or storing it. Even natural products may be toxic to humans or pets if you use them incorrectly. Include your email address to get a message when this question is answered.
