Begonia boliviensis ‘Brothglow’

Early last summer I bought a Begonia 'Sparks Will Fly' with lovely
tangerine flowers on somewhat arching stems, bronze leaves with lighter
veining. It clearly wanted to stop growing later this fall, even though
transitioned into my greenhouse. In fact, it fell apart, dropped all the
stems. And - surprise! - there's a nice plump smooth brown tuber sitting
somewhat above the soil.

It is a seed raised Burpee offering, /Begonia boliviensis/ ‘Brothglow’

What can you tell me about /B. boliviensis/? Anyone else have 'Sparks
Will Fly'? Do I just shove it under a bench and neglect watering until
early spring?
