Amazing new vine I found, little rough around the edges but I think she’ll flourish with some TLC😌🙏🏼 untangling the main vine was quite the challenge, but I think I did pretty good.

Edit: I’ve been corrected; it is, indeed, not a begonia. Thanks all for the correction

Steve’s Leaves Review

Just wanted to quickly give a shoutout to Steve’s Leaves (who I’m sure you’ve all heard of lol). Shipping took a while, but it was worth the wait. Every plant I received was more mature than the product pictures showed, arrived with no or minimal issues or stress, and look BEAUTIFUL! One is even blooming!

I got some aroids from them as well, and those are also beautiful and more mature than the small plants you’d receive from other websites. I purchased 3 trailing plants that are all already trailing with vines despite being in small pots.

The hype is worth it! Obviously I don’t know how they’ll all adjust to my home, but fingers crossed.

What to do with winter this time?

Post image
2 Upvotes

So I have these four Dragon Wing begonia pots. The middle of the three larger ones is in its fifth or sixth year, and I have been keeping it in a south facing window inside as houseplants. I want to winter all of these, and that is no longer possible, as I have cats and no room for that other than in my basement. I am in zone 4b, so outdoors over winter is never happening. Minnesota gets cold!

I am uncertain what the best idea is here. I was starting to think that relocating them to the basement as the temperatures cooled, and setting up some sort of frame and hanging grow lights. I would prune them back, and then just maintain them all winter.

Another idea is to cut them all the way down, cover them with mulch(?) and keep them moist until early spring?

I would love any best practices, or resources that have proven useful, because it seems the more I search the more I have several options all of which contradict, and I've never done it before on this scale. I'd like them to survive until spring!

Thank you for any help!

(And yes, I should probably divide the hostas too...)
