I have been using this as a hanging annual outdoor pot for years and do enjoy them so. I wonder, does anyone know if this can be kept as a houseplant?
Thanks in advance.

| i knew a lady who grows a semperflorens indoor all year long--it looks pretty scraggly, but she never prunes it. i think that reiger begonias can get the same way and are marketed as a "disposable" plant. you can propagate new ones and enjoy a younger, nicer looking plant all year long. -ming |

| They do wonderful indoors as long as it is not too dry. Mine seemed to like indirect light and lots of fertilizer. I just used Miracle Grow as directed. |
