Care of Begonia and Geranium

Question

Should the plants be cut back when they become leggy indoors in the winter? How much water do they require?

Answer 1

During winter months, plants need only be watered about once monthly or as needed when the soil becomes dry about an inch or so down. Leggy plants are normally a sign of too little light. You can cut them back some and begin giving the plants more light.
