How do i store begonia's over the winter months?

They must be stored indoors. Gradually reduce watering and stop fertilizing at the end of summer or early fall. Cut the stems back to about five inches, and allow the tubers to dry indoors until the stems are dry. Break off any dead stems. Do not wash.





Store the tubers in a punctured plastic bag filled with peat moss or vermiculite in a cool, dark place, between 40°F to 50°F.

Reply:Bring them indoors. Better still, keep them in a frost free greenhouse or conservatory. Be careful not to overwater them.
Reply:Begonia's what?





Oh, you mean begonias.
Reply:You have two options: bring your begonias indoors if you can give them enough sunlight, and continue watering and tending them as usual. If you have no window space, or artificial lighting, then you may want to let them lie dormant until you can get them out again in the spring. Pack them in a soft mixture of peat moss and vermiculiate. I like using the clear, porous vegetable ziplock baggies, enough air gets in that they will not mould, but they also stay fresh enough that they won't dry out. Keep your begonias in a dark place, so that light will not promote them to start growing, until you wish them to in the spring.
Reply:put it on the indoor also you make sure that you water them as normal
