My begonia did not survive, it was too late to save it, but I may try again someday if I ever run across one again. My Pelargonium dasycaulon (I got help with the ID on the Plant Identification forum) is doing just fine. I had suspected it is a winter grower/summer dormant species, and this was confirmed once I knew the name. Here it is today. I actually water it quite a bit now, and it seems to really appreciate that. Before I was sure it was a winter grower, I restricted water in the winter.
p.s. I changed my DG name to Pistil, from mlmlakestevens, and DG has changed it in all the old posts.
