When cooler temperatures arrive in the fall, it is time to give some thought to preparing tender plants for their winter resting place. Fuchsias and geraniums can be saved, providing they receive considerable attention.
Tuberous begonias are easily wintered.
Geraniums and begonias must-be taken indoors before the first heavy frost or they are apt to rot and die. Most varieties of fuchsias will tolerate temperatures down to about 25 to 28 degrees before serious damage is done. However, don't take a chance. Start preparing them for winter before the first heavy frost. To winter begonias, simply take them indoors, placing them in a cool, well-ventilated room.
