Hello everyone,

I have been germinating begonias from seed. The species I´m growing are
Begonia geraniifolia and Begonia octopetala, both grow in any of the
"Lomas" of Peru near the coast and in some parts of the Andes in more
elevated areas. There is not much information about them. They are tuberous
begonias and the tubers are very superficial.

They took a month to germinate and I´ve seen them get bigger in the main
leaf, but on the first three months the tuber has only gotten as big as a
quinoa seed.

Questions:

bit faster?

them one drop of fertilizer( fish emulsion) directly to the tuber, once
every 2 weeks to help them develop , is this true?

Best regards
Norton
