here is the problem..got loads of free begonias from a certain online supplier, but what do I do with them to get them to grow. Little buds are showing on them....ooooh this is a steep learning curve.

i put mine in shallow pots with the bottom half of the corm in the compost. watered sparingly and kept frost free in the greenhouse. so far 3 are growing the other 2 are not. dont know if mine are trailers either.

Many thanks. Have done what you have suggested, so now I guess I just sit back and wait...with fingers crossed!!

Same here! I put mine in a seed tray and barely covered them with a sprinkle of compost - careful watering so as not to get the corm centre wet. The shoots are now coming up - I am guessing that when the danger of frost is over, I can plant them out in a container.
Being freebies, I don't know if they are upright or trailing ones!
