Begonias from JParker

Got my 12 free begonias from JParker. Anybody got theirs yet and do you start them indoor? I also got the perennial plants and they are tiny plants and do not look very healthy. I guess they will pick up. I am going to start them in pots first and then transplant when they are stronger.

    If they are begonia corms, I start mine indoors, in shallow trays of compost. Don't bury them, place them on the surface of the compost, with the "dished" side upwards (look for tiny buds in the "dished" bit). Don't water directly onto the corm, but do water the compost.
