I'm growing my first two begonias (impulse buy at the hardware store - but now I think I'm hooked). One has formed a seed pod. Does anyone know how/when to collect the seeds? I don't want to cut off the pod too soon, but am worried about waiting too long and all the tiny seed scattering to the wind (Is this silly?) Could use some advice. It's a tuberous begonia.
Thanks!
