Common Questions
Can I overwinter fibrous rooted begonias in the house?
Yes, they need morning sun, and be sure to keep the soil evenly moist. Begonias need high humidity so place the pot on a tray of damp pebbles to raise the humidity around the plant.
How do I store tuberous begonias for the winter?
To keep tuberous begonias for another year, dig the tubers when frost threatens. Dry them in a protected, shady, well-ventilated spot, remove any excess soil, and store in boxes or shallow trays in a cool and dry location. Do not store any rotting bulbs.
Do I need to deadhead my begonias?
Fibrous begonias are self-cleaning and do not need to be deadheaded. Tuberous begonias have heavy fleshy flowers and spent blossoms should be removed to prevent botryti s as well as other diseases.
