    Hi,

    I started off my Begonia's indoors about 3 weeks ago.
    Some are now about 4-6"'s tall.
    I've read that they are now ready for transplanting.
    Am I able to plant these in their final positions now (well after the weekend obviously)
    Or shall I plant them up in bigger pots? (currently in 5")
    BTW - I'm in Essex

    Cheers in advance

    Bashy, i can't offer advice but if you look at other threads about propogation i think the general consesus is that it is still a bit risky to put out. But then i don't know if begonias are hardy or whatever.
    Good growing though. hope you get the advice you need.

    cheers

    Bashy, I would be inclined to pot them on and keep them protected. Until the weather settles I wouldn`t put any bedding outside yet.

    Bashy, they seem to be growing a quite a rate, I assume we are talking about the tuberous kind here, can you perhaps put them somewhere cooler in good light but frost free, for a few weeks.
