Begonia luxurians hybrid basal shoot question.

6 years ago

Will this Begonia Lady Clare ever send up basal growth from a buried bud? I grew it from a cutting that I took last summer. It seems very happy but I would have expected some basal shoots by now. I am certain there were at least 2 nodes in the cutting that went underground. Is it possible that the underground nodes are too dormant to ever grow? The cutting was woody when I took it and the nodes were visible but the stem was totally smooth (no buds). My options right now are to wait and see if basal shoots appear or transplant into a deeper pot and bury some of those live buds. What do yall think?
