Because they evolved in tropical regions, Begonia doesn't survive in frost. So, if you wanna grow the Begonia outdoors, you can grow them in USDA zones 8 and higher.
Another option, if you want to grow the Begonia as a houseplant year-round, you can opt to keep it indoors all the time. Or move the pot outside for the summer months.
And don't forget to move back to indoor before fall's first frost.
Best light

If you place this houseplant outdoors, pick a site with part shade that receives some sun in the early morning or later in the evening. They will get bleached out or scorched leaves while get much sun.
For indoor areas, you can place the Begonia in an east or west-facing window that receives either morning or late afternoon sun. Just avoid bright direct sun of a south-facing window.
Ideal temperature

Begonia can grow at temperatures between 60 and 85 F degrees. Prolonged temperatures below 50 F will restrict new growth. And over-humid conditions and poor air circulation can result in fungal diseases such as botrytis and powdery mildew.
Watering and fertilize

When must we water the Begonia Gryphon? You can do it when the soil has fully dried throughout the entire root zone. Use a watering can when you're watering this houseplant. It can apply water only to the soil and let it flush through the soil and out the drainage holes (if you plant in a pot area).
Although Begonia include low maintenance houseplants, they still need fertilization for best growth. Fertilize them every 4 weeks from March through September. Don't fertilize them in winter unless you live in a tropical climate.
