How can I bring in a begoina?

Question

I have two begoina and want to bring them in the house for the winter and be able to replant them next spring outside. How would I do that?

Answer 1

If they have been growing in pots they can be put in a shady area and  adjust to that.  If they have been planted in the ground dig around the plant approximately 6 inches out from the last branch and dig  the plant up keeping  as much dirt as possible.  Place this in your new container, water well and place in a cool  shaded area.  Do not fertilize for at least a month or util the plant shows signs of new growth

Answer 2

You need to soften Them Off.  Opposite of hardening them....When You help a plant adjust to the outdoor temps, wind changes. Same goes for bringing a plant indoors. The Begonia has been outside all Summer, used to the temps, light, open air.  Each day, bring the plant inside for a few hours, lengthening the hours each day for about a week.  You can use Your Begonias for a houseplant.  Then in spring ,when night temps. stay above 50 degrees, do the same thing.  Adjust the plant to the outdoor temps. daily for one week.
