Gardening Tips & Tricks : Taking Care of Begonias

Bonas are shade plants that can also be grown indoors. They bloom all summer through the fall.

When growing Bonas, it's best to follow a few rules. They prefer shade over sun and can be sensitive to too much direct sunlight. In colder climates, it's recommended to start them indoors in a pot and then transfer them outside. In milder areas, they can be left outside year-round, but may go through a dormant cycle.

Bonas bulbs can be stored in a paper bag for the winter and planted back out in the spring. It's important to protect them from direct hot sun.

Yes, Bonas plants can be planted directly in the ground. However, make sure to provide them with the appropriate shade and avoid too much direct sunlight.

Bonas plants can survive for several years if properly cared for. However, they may experience die-back during their dormant cycle. Cut back the greens, let them dry out for a month or two, and then add water to encourage new growth.
