As much as I "love" the family of begonias, I have never propagated any of them. Soon, I will try to apply your propagation techniques to my efforts. Each year, I usually plant 30-40 begonias Into a designated area. They grow from May to November with flowers attached. They are composted when the season is over. You have given me the encouragement to try to retain and propagate these plants. In my area in North America, our winters are freezing. Therefore, I have concentrated on having a perennial garden of plants, shrubs and trees that show up in their own season. My Begonias and Cannas are always included annuals. This year, I have increased my Canna varieties with the intention of propagation for next year's planting season. Thank you!
Hi Bertha, thanks for sharing. Amazing about your Begonia. Yes you can propagate them and actually I find propagating Begonia is one of the easiest of all propagation. Both water and Rhizome propagation is good but I find the rhizome works faster. As with Canna, take the time to clean them divide them and start your overwinter preparation then next season you will have abundance.
Hi Kelly, I hardly ever use rooting Hormone. I believe why propagation works here could be because our temperatures are always above 20 degrees Celsius and plants need warmth and light in order to propagate. However, do use rooting hormone if it increases the propagate rate. I am all for it.
Thank you! This was very helpful! God bless you 🙏 keep it up
Thank you so much very encouraging and aslo for following my channel.
Beautiful 😍

Beautiful video, thank you :) Do you put any rooting hormone when propagating stems without nodes?

@@redsoilgardener is it possible to make a video how to use agricultural lime
12:28 "keep it in direct sun" Is that right?
Hi, in indirect sun, is best for begonias.
