Have: Cane Begonias for other cane begonias
Comments (1)I only have one kind of cane begonia but would LOVE to trade for one of yours so I'd have two kinds. Or maybe there are some other things in my list you would like to trade for? Would you please email me a picture of yours? I have to wait for one of my sons to get here to get a picture of mine. Thank you Sharon...See MoreBegonia Staking?
Comments (2)Uggh!! don't you hate it when a really beautiful or prescious plant gets snapped by the elements (or evil-doers like squirrels) in midglory. I had the bad fortune to leave my lilies in the care of a friend while I was moving and theses lilies were huge and ready to bloom, but then we kept being hit by storm after storm, eventually some snapped and others drowned, AARGH!!! Anyway, if they snapped off, you probably want to support them well. Living in Oklahoma, it's impossible to have a plant out of the wind, unless it's indoors or somewhere very sheltered since it's always windy here. However, if you support it properly they should do just fine under regular weather conditions... you could try to move them somewhere more sheltered if a big storm comes by, that is if you have them in containers....See MorePlease i.d. my Cane Begonia
Comments (3)Thanks Laurie. I have had her positioned in a better lighted position since this picture was taken, but no signs of blooming yet. I noted you said you thought yours wasn’t blooming because of too much light? Is that typical? Am I correct to understand that they bloom quite easily and generally late summer or fall, or can they bloom at any time? I wonder because I have a beautiful Gryphon Begonia which I understand is related to the cane types, and it blooms when the daylength is quite short. Mine bloomed for me in February of this year ( indoors of course) after being outdoors until close to my first frost( late September here).1st pic blooming in February. 2nd pic as it appears outside recently. Just thought I’d share that, hope you don’t mind....See MoreSilvia - When does your pink cane begonia bloom?
Comments (5)D, I really did not put any attention on the flowering cycles of my begonias, but I know that they bloom very often during the year. I have a few varieties, this time the pink cane begonia does not have any blooms maybe because I cut it before the hurricane to be able to move easily indoors. I don't fertilize my potted plants very often either, they are all by the porch on the other hand all my indoor violets are blooming today....See Morehc mcdole
