Overwintering Begonias and Wandering Jew for Spring Containers

With this historically mild winter in Chicago, you can move begonias and wandering jew outdoors now. Anything that can be containerized can go out and be brought back in before next winter.

For saving money: propagate from cuttings (wandering jew roots easily), divide perennials like hostas, and swap starts with neighbors. Focus on perennials and self‑sowing annuals to reduce yearly purchases.
