I just finished putting away the summer container pots and when I dug up the dragon wing begonias I thought I'd find tubers but they were rooted like the wax begonias. Are they not a tubrous begonia? Now I feel really dumb. Anyway I've put the roots in peat moss to store for the winter in hopes that they don't know any better than I and will magically grow again next year.

I've never tried it with begonias. I just try to keep them alive in a window indoors. The dragon Wing ones do well for me in a bright window.
