How to Propagate Begonias?
Primary propagation methods for begonias include stem cuttings, leaf cuttings, and division. Key factors for success are moderate light, high humidity, and well-draining soil. Special considerations involve maintaining cleanliness to prevent disease and choosing healthy, non-flowering stems or leaves for cuttings. Propagation can be generally easy, with challenges being root rot and fungal issues. To propagate, take a 4-inch stem cutting, remove lower leaves, dip in rooting hormone, plant in moist soil, cover with a plastic bag, and place in indirect light. Keep the soil consistently moist until roots develop, usually within a few weeks.
