Question
I have a beautiful, tightly packed bed of begonias.   Unfortunately, I have made a landscaping decision that involves putting something else where these beautiful begonias are.   They are so beautiful, I don't want to kill them.   Is there any safe way to move them & have a chance that they'll continue to thrive?  They are growing all thick, and are very close together.   It would be very difficult to separate the individual plants.

Answer
Begonias are fairly shallow rooted and you can simply dig in between the plants and remove clumps with a spade. Leave as much soil as you can on the roots. Move them to their new position and keep them well watered.

Do not fertilize.

If they are moved to a position with more sun, shading the plants temporarily with make shift shade screens will help them transition better.

I have moved begonias in the past and they are not too fuzzy.
