Hello everyone,

So I tried to germinate begonias for a second time with much better 
results. I sow the seeds in humid soil in last quarter (moon cycle ) and 
both species germinated after 12 days, it also helped that now that is 
autum the air is colder and more humid. The pots now look like they have 
a green mat on them. So my question is: How and when do I separate them? 
They are growing pretty close to each other, now that they are small, 
they will probably compete until the one that grows faster covers the 
others I guess. What I do need to make sure is that they form a nice 
size tuber before they go into dormancy until next season.

To see pictures of the speciesIĀ“m talking about follow this links
Begonia geraniifolia: https://goo.gl/Bcyrgk/
Begonia octopetala: https://goo.gl/oGJDnz/

Best regards
