Wow the ziplock bag idea
Is ingenious
THANK YOU! This is the most help video I've seen on propagating these things. The close up shots are super helpful.
Thank you so much just inherited a HUGE angel wing now I know what to do ...to propagate and bless others
One thing I have found out in all my years of growing plants and I'm 70 years old now is that the closer than nodes are the better the chance of getting something to root. That first cutting you took is from a newer shoot and sometimes I found that they tend to want to rot rather than root sometimes. So sometimes it's better to take a cutting where the notes for the leaf scars are closer together. Also I found that a more successful taking cuttings during a full moon right before during or right after. It also works when planting seeds. And when is the highest tide at the ocean during the full Moon the Moon does have a pull on water on Earth. So I guess that's why it works there's some things like in patients that I take cuttings from and if it's during a full moon they usually don't wilt if it's not a full moon I need to put a plastic bag over them to help the humidity level so they don't Wilt and die.
You had me until the moon part.
@@kimreyes4868 Haha !! Yeah it can make the ocean rise and fall and tons of other things, but surely it wouldn't affect plants ....
Absolutely the tides and moon have affects that we do not understand. Don’t be so quick to discount, it’s better to say that it’s uncertain.
Something about this comment is enchanting
My Grandmother swore that planting anything including seeds needed to be done on the NEW MOON. She was a very successful gardener that grew all the vegetables in her garden that way. We all never went hungry. ✌🏻❤
A really great video. Thank you!!! Short, sweet and to the point. Well done (some videos go on and on and I lose focus; yours was perfect!)
Thank you Julie, You answered all of my questions. I have a 5" tall specimen in my garden, thriving but yes, I do want to propogate. In Hawaii most of us don't know that much about begonias but your video basically shared everything I needed to know. I am going to have poka-dots all over my gardens. Aloha from the Big Island - Hawaii
I did the same thing with my Dragon Wing Begonia without the bag covering and it rooted in a little over a week, also no rootone used.
Really good video, it helps when you are comfortable that the presenter is knowledgable about the subject, there are too many videos out there that you question if the presenter is competent .
She gave me the confidence to ‘have a go’
Great video. Facts without all the unnecessary fluff. I Love it.👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽😆👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽😆
Thank you for this video, the best I've seen. Not much information about the subject in TH-cam.
Can you please do a separation from the roots versus a cutting from the top of the plant.
My Angel Wing Begonia is tall and leggy, not bushy at all.
I would love to make it fuller and keep it a little smaller.
Thank you, I jsut bought one of these at the asian market because i'd never seen one of these before and I loved the unique shape and silver spots.
Based on my experience you don't need to do all of the extra work, I just cut mine on top of the node and put it in a water and that's it. I have mine in a vase, some are in a fish bowl with just water in it, been there for a year or so, along with photos plant. I just change the water from time to time sometimes every 2 weeks or longer. I placed it on an island counter top where there's no window and they are still thriving, the photos that I put in the same vase keeps growing longer with new leaves. I'm in Washington zone 8b.
Yes same here, bare minimum.
Julie I love all of your videos! Keep up the good work.
Thank you so much ! I'm glad you enjoy them :)
I just got an angel wing begonia and needed some tips so I found your video and I noticed my name is also Julie Nicole. My middle name is Nicole lol
What if it's already super leggy, and there are only leaves at the end of the stems. All my stems are about 2' long and half an inch thick with leaves only growing at the last 6" or so..
In case you never found any answer to your question, if your begonia has multiple stems then try cutting a single branch down to the height you want it. Root the cutting and then see if the old branch sprouts new leaves below the cut line. My begonia only had a single stem but has leaves the full 24 inches. Then again it's also been living outside almost year-round. It sits on my deck in full sun a good portion of the day in summer in California. Southern exposure with light and great reflected off the house. There are trees but they don't shade it much. It only comes inside for freezing temps at night or snow. It has been outside for as low as 33 degrees.
Wow! Thanks for the details on leggy begonias. I recently received one, from a friend. Got a section of the plant, with roots & 4 stems. All leggy. Should I try some cane cuts with soil wrap?
Great information perfectly explained. Thanks for sharing😊👍❤.
Very helpful on how to propagate angel wing begonia. Thanks
Thank you Julie! That was very helpful for a beginner like me!
I agree with you Ms. Argus. I wanted to know how to propagate Angel wing Begonias & Julie's video was very easy to follow.
This worked for my accidental begonia snowcap cutting from when it fell down my rack 😂It didn't even have a node so I'm really happy. Thanks for this video!
Perfect timing I've been wanting to prune my begonia but don't know how. Big help😄thanks for sharing 😄
Awesome! Good luck with pruning !
Julie Nicole thanks 😄
Extremely helpful video. I always look forward to your videos. Thank you.
That's great Kathy! I'm glad you found it helpful :D
Omg! you answered all my questions in one video. Thank you.
Awesome! Glad you found it helpful :D
Julie Nicole one question: is the plant sick or something cause its leaves are just falling off🥺☹️
On your begonia? Are all of the leaves falling off?
@@julienicole92 yes the begonia. Not all of them yet (cross fingers) Is it too much water or too less water? I can't figure it out. It does gets plenty of light too.
Very good video. Straight to the point and informative! Keep it up👍
Informative video.its helpful to grow new plants in water..big like
Great info. Congrats on almost 10,000 subs. Love your videos.
Thanks so much Kathy! It is very exciting :D
Thank you so much for this video. I have an Angel Wing Begonia I would like to know if I can propagate where there are no leaves and where it is I need to cut I have about three feet and would love to find out if that area can be propagated since it has no leaves on it. Thank you for your help
You can also propagate by placing a leaf flat on the soil and cutting through the ribs of the leaf.
thank you😊,i have a begonia plant,now i know how to propagate it,
Idk why, but always when I cut the begonia and make cuttings and put them in a water they rott or the leaves get dry and it dies. 🤔
Ohh, I figure it out! You have to take a cutting with at least 2 nodes (not just the leaf and a bit of stem) and put it in water..at least one nodr should be in a water, but if its more than even better. Hoped helped someone. 😊
Same thing happens to me! But based looking at your updated comment, looks like I haven't taken cuttings with at least two nodes either.
You can actually propagate from just one leaf with the stem cut off (and rooting hormone!) but success rate is lower than the method shown in this video. I’ve have 100% success with this method, but using only one leaf is like 50/50.
You can definitely propagate with even just the leaf! Plant it directly in the soil. If you also have a bit of stem , you can either propagate in water or also burry it in soil , keep it nice and humid.
@@metasymphony Propagating from leaves only work for rex begonias, cane begonias need at least some stem to work, but it's true that you don't need nodes!
Die gleiche Blume habe ich als Mini da sind die Blätter abgefallen und da irgendwann kommen neue raus man sieht die kleinen Stiele schon das es Blätter werden
Love this video. Very detailed and gave me information other videos did not! New subscriber!
I'm glad you found it helpful! Welcome to the channel :D
The leaves of my spotted begonia are drying out. It was next to a window with blinds down most of the time of the day to keep the room cool. I am not sure what kind of light it needs. Is a window where the sun goes down better?
Very nice video! Thanks for sharing.
thank you for watching !
with the second method do you need to submerge a node in soil for roots to form from it? do the roots come from the nodes like in a philodendron?
Really good video and good explanation. Thank you!
How far back can you prune? I have a begonia that's already grown to be quite leggy and am wondering if it's safe to chop it right back to try and get a more full plant, or if I just have to work with I now have... thanks in advance!
This is an old question but let me just answer it anyway to anyone reading it.
I chopped my very long leggy polka dot back to the first two leaves to start over fresh and cut the cutting up into single/double leaf stems too and put them all in a vase under bright indirect light. They rooted super easily (no hormone no plastic bag) and I potted them next to the formerly leggy mother plant. I now have a super nice bushy pot of polka dots. All of them took to the soil and all of them have new leaves coming out.
Cool ! So you don’t have to let the cuts heal before you stick em in water ? I am having to repot mine cuz some odd fungus was growing in the soil and I was getting holes in the leaves . Didn’t see bugs . Even under the microscope. Dunno what the holes were all about. But the leaves were looking yellow and ugly anyway. Have you experienced holes in the leaves ? These holes are pinhole sized .
Say I have a super tall, leggy begonia. Can I snip it like you say to do, but snip the cutting again in half, essentially making two cuttings out of one? My begonia has just gotten away from me and I hate to waste it.
2:50 ayeeee yo
I came to the comments for this. Not disappointed.
Hi, I received my plant from my brother. He let it get tall and leggy. How do I get it to grow "bushy" instead? There are two branches and most of the leaves are on ends of branches. Thank you for any and all help.
M Bowlby Same here!! My brother just gave me his and there’s 4 leggy branches couple feet long with leaves only on the ends and I don’t know what to do?! Did you have any luck with your plant? Thank you in advance 😊🪴
Thanks for this. I have adopted a very large, but very gnarly-looking begonia. The 'legs' are about 2-3 feet long before you see any leaves. Is there a way to cut it back but still preserve the larger plant? I want to make new plants, but it would be great to see new growth from the very thick old stems.
drawitoutlady . I wish someone had answered this. I was given an angel wing begonia and it was from an outdoor neglected garden. It has long canes and some leaves on top with just a couple below. I’m very uncertain about pruning it cuz if I cut off the top I’ll be left with a bare cane. But it’s healthy and beautiful. Nice leaves on top. I don’t want to kill it. Hmmmm. What to do
When I repotted my begonia a very old stalk broke, probably 8 years old. I placed it in some water with some trimming I took off the top of other branches. The younger branches took about 6 weeks to root where as the older stalk took about 6 months!!! It lost a few leaves but it’s now thriving and making babies in the soil.
Also cutting the stock will force the nodes to make leaves in a bare stock. Start with one and see what happens
What if it's super leggy and there's no leaf until high at the top of one of the legs that i want to cut?
When you water props do you put them in the bag and mist like you did with your soil prop?
This really helped I'll be doing today
Thanks. I got it as a present and it only grew in one long branch. It looks terrible. 😂 I'm going to propogate it
Thank you. Your video is very helpful. I have 2 questions:
. Can we propagate it in every season
.can we keep them indoor
Thank you for explaining. I am from Indonesia. How about the light, can it put directly under/full sun?
I would not put any type of propagation in direct sun or even strong bright light. It's too much for the cutting, which needs to focus it's energy on making roots. Set it a few feet back from windows with strong light until roots form.
Rooting hormone being crushed on a plate made me have flashbacks, was waiting for you to pull out a 50 note and start rolling it!
Hey Julie! Is this a specific type of angel wing begonia? I love the color and want to find one just like it!
Yep! It's a Begonia Wightii
Love this video thanks for sharing
Very good video..thx..have you ever propagated sage or lavender ?Thank you
How long does it take to propagate a Angel Wing begonia in water?
Great video. Thank you
So it propagates from a stem alone? I don’t see nodes.
Great tips. Thank you so much
hi, should I also put this in a bag if I'm using the water method? I have had a cutting in water for about 2 weeks & its growing a little bit of roots but the leaves are getting dry 😳
Thank your sharing..👍👍
Thanks for sharing this video. it helps!
Hi, I have let my begonia get too leggy. I can cut the ends and root them, but I am wondering if the stems in the pot will be viable since there are no leaves as far back as I need to cut. Do I just need to root my ends and let the rest go? Thanks for the help!
Thank you for such an awesome video! I have a flamingo queen begonia which needs pruning so this was really helpful. Just wondering about the propogation misting - my begonia doesn't like wet leaves, was there any adverse effect from the water in the bag? TIA!
You should try! Most commercial garden centers propagate using the bag method with all types of begonias. I'm not sure how you would create humidity without misting. I guess you could mist towards the base of the plant instead and try to avoid hitting the leaves
Can you share cuttings of your begonia?
How do you control pnats? We live in AZ and I really try to not over water my plants. I am using BT in a spray bottle because I heard that works but it only last a few days. Right now I am replanting my plants but not finding my pnats in the soil. I am going to make another essential oil spray that I find works good but it is driving me crazy that I am even getting them to begin with.
THANKS. I have an Angel Wing begonia as well - there was one particular 'leg' that shot up pretty quickly - this is a simple countertop plant and the one leg was at least 3'. I was told to cut it at near the base and then use just the leaves to propagate - not a stem clipping, so I am worried now that I will have killed off the five clippings. I have them in individual pots right now...just planted. Hoping they take root. Is this a lost cause??
curious was it since it's been six months, sounds like it should've worked??
I have begonia angel wing why is yours lush and beautiful but my begonia leaves is going to be dry or melted
Thank you for the video! Someone left me a very sickly looking angel wing begonia on my front porch among my flowers last fall, I knew it was going to die but I vowed to try to get it through to the end of the season, imagine my surprise as I was able to carry it out at the beginning of spring the following year! Now at the end of our first full summer I have repotted him and he has even gifted me with beautiful pink flowers!
My question is, some of his arms are quite long and some still have damage from his previous lifestyle....I want to help him, not hurt him, is there a better time of year to prune? And is there a limit to how much you should do? This is the first plant (plastic ones included) that I have not killed - please help me keep him happy and healthy! Many thanks 🧡💛💚
I cut mine anytime i think its needed and haven't noticed any harm. ☺
This is very helpful. Thank you. How long did it take for the roots to appear in water?
Mine got so leggy it jumped off the shelf :(((((( thank you so much for this great video to prop the broken bits!!!!
Can you propagate just a leaf? I'm just starting to purchase house plants. I would like to learn from you. Thanks.
My sister gave me a cutting. I was showing someone the beautiful begonia and when I lifted the leaf it broke off at the stalk leaving me with just a simple lone stalk. Will it grow from this state??
Is there an ideal time for success when it comes to propagating or does the season not matter?
I don't really think it makes a difference to be honest
Hi Julie,
I am having a tough time propagating my begonia in water. It looks promising for about a week and then the stem begins to rot...also having no luck with leaf propagating method, leaves rot there too.
I am new to begonias so any info would be much appreciated.
I also hail from CT,
Joann
Hey Julie! I've already grown roots in water and just potted my cutting. Would you still recommend putting the plant inside of a plastic bag for a humid environment after you pot? Or is that too much? I'm out of town for about 4 days and don't want my new cutting to die.
So I have also potted up the cutting in soil with no bag or roots..and it did root after a few weeks, so the simple version worked too :)
Thank you! My angel wing is growing in a fan shape, about two feet to the side and two and a half feet tall. How do I get it to grow in all directions?
Cheri Estep rotatate every week or so, so that different sides of the plant get light!
Thank you! Great!!!
The for the info but how long you keep them in the plastic bag? An after what days you open the for ventilation? Thanks
Can it be done even in winters? Does it depends on season also? Thank you.
I rooted my begonia in December in a terrarium. I think her method would work year round.
@@floridahiker1503 how many weeks does it takes to grow roots in water? I have mine in water for almost 3 weeks but no signs of any root. 😞
@@ishasinghal7561 I believe 3-6 weeks. hope yours rooted!
Due to a threatened freeze in Tampa I had to prune my huge Angel wing begonia. I have cutting galore and want to use them for new plants. Trying water rooting first as it is so easy. What is the most successful? Water or a planting mix method?
How long do you keep them in the plastic bag? How do you know when to take it out?
I’ve propagated my cane begonia this way, but have wondered if it works for other kinds of begonias. Does this work for Rex begonias? Thanks 👍🏼
I think it might! I haven't tried personally :)
Great video very useful ❤️.
Thanks so much!
Hi Julie, great videos! I’ve just found your channel while searching for Angel Wing Begonia care tips. My mom just pruned hers and propagated the clippings to give to me (YAY!). She used the water method so I have the clipping back at my house sitting in water. I don’t have time to get it potted this weekend so I will have to do it next week. Do you have a recommendation for the amount of roots that would be too much or too little for transferring to soil? Thanks!
hmmm, well I actually experimented with this. I pruned by begonia, and transferred directly to soil, and it did fine! It grew roots within a few weeks. I checked by gently tugging on the cutting and it had rooted. So I would recommend trying this
@@julienicole92 can you share cuttings of your begonias?
Are you able to share cuttings?
Hello! So I have inherited a 15 year old angel wing begonia and it hasn’t been pruned for quite some time. There are no leaves very close to the base, and it stands about 4 feet tall, all the leaves being in the top half. Should I prune back down or will that harm it?
Yeah I would try pruning it! They are very easy to propagate :)
Can I still start when theres no leaves
Good job 👍
Thanks!
Is there a time of year that is designated for pruning, or does that not matter?
My cutting hasn't grown roots and the leaves are getting crunchy and the edges, what should i do?
Why do my angel wing begonias have smaller spots than these? Also I have 10 inch pot, how many plants can I put in one pot? I currently have 3.
thank you so much for this info! My angel wing begonias are crazy tall (nearly four feet). I will do this today! I am also looking to buy a cutting of the cotton candy , maculata whitie begonia, please advise where to find one. many many thanks
They are crazy expensive right now, which surprised me because they used to be everywhere. I found one on Etsy - it’s a piece about like what she rooted. It cost me $10 and is doing beautiful
great video 👍💖
Thanks Ashley :D
Which way do you think works best Approx. How many weeks? Just took cutting
Awesome, thank you so much!!
Thanks for sharing ...
What about the follow-up video you promised for this? (8 months have passed!) Thanks!
My angel wing begonia plants just suddenly started getting giant holes in the leaves and I'm not sure why.. Do you have any tips to prevent this and what may be causing it?
Which method is usually more successful for propagating?
I hope theres an update at the end of the video....
Do you put a bag over using the water method as well?
nope I don't!
Can it be pruned any time of the year?
Great video
Thank you Kathleen!
Long as the leaf has a node it will root :) hope that helps. Dont have to be many leaves just as long as there is one node!
Can you do this with alocasia? Both pruning and water propagating?
I'm not sure! I actually don't own alocasia
Will the leaves bruise in the baggie?
