    Hi,
    I bought three tubers (bulbs) of Begonia. One of them covered with white substance, looks like a mold (something like that will develop on fruits if they left outside for long). Should I try to plant it or throw away? Another question is can other tubers get this "infection/mold"? They were in the same bag when I purchase them.
    Thanks

    I would definitely throw the moldy one out. I would plant the other two (on their own - not with others), but watch them for problems.
