Salvaging plants
« on: October 27, 2009, 15:00:59 »
Have just dismantled a large trough I was given after it was no longer needed at an exhibition. The Busy lizzies I have cut back & re-potted for indoors also the geranium, there were also a couple of trailing begonias but I don't know what to do with them - do I plant them or just let them dry out?

Let the tubers dry out then store, preferably in dry sand, in a frost free place over the winter ready to grow again next year.

Ok thanks, all I got to do next year is remember where I put them, or what they are when i find them.
