Thank you for a very informative. Im a beginner of planting begonia. From the phillipines. God bless you sir
My pleasure. Good luck with yours!
Yes!!!! Any updates? That is so exciting. Begonias are my new obsession! I hope they are all growing!
Yes actually I'll have a video update on the Begonia props coming very soon - the next one up is all about Begonia gryphon so look out for it! 😁
Glad i found your video. Im new to begonias and this prepares me.for any situation and not afraid to use broken leaves. Thank you!!❤
Glad it was helpful!
I put cuts along the length of the veins to the tips and those cuts made new plants too. I got 10 babies off mine when I did the flat leaf method.
That's a great tip, Barry! Thanks for letting me know - I'll definitely try that. It sounds almost identical to a method you can do with Streptocarpus leaves. 😁
@@Grow_Up_Man55 I haven't heard of that one youre talking about before. But when I looked it up, another plant showed that was a candy cane oxalis and that made my day!!! Im a huge oxalis fan. The candy cane colors though, blow my mind!!! 🤯
Glad to be of help - however that may come about! With the Strep leaves you cut right along either side of the 'rib' down the centre, effectively cutting it out, then plant the remaining 2 halves of leaf. It works really well.
@@Grow_Up_Man55 thats amazing. Thanks! And thanks for your video, brought me down a strange but delightful rabbit hole!
Another great video 😊
I absolutely love to watch your videos. I learn so much from them! Thank you for your knowledge of plants 😊
Thanks Joey I really appreciate that! Feel free to share them across all your social media channels...😁
@@Grow_Up_Man55 Will do! I wish I had the space to build a greenhouse or something like what you have,I think you call it the Hot room? But yeah I'll share all of your videos!
I know if I like the videos you post then everyone else should too!
Have a great day today!😊💚🌱
@@Joey-vw1id Can't you set something up in the house?
So informative. Thanks a lot.
Glad you think so. 😁
Very surprised you planted the leaf 😮 nice thanks...
You know you can see how that particular method got on, as well as the results from the other methods, in this video: Begonia Propagation: 🎉 RESULTS! 🥳: th-cam.com/video/TstC9ZBlRv8/w-d-xo.html
Very good.
Thank you sooooo much for that great Video. Just perfect Geoff. 💚🌱🙋♀️
Aw thanks Michaela that means a lot! 😁
this was fantastic! thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Brilliant, very informative. Made me subscribe and watch the follow up video, and not many other videos make me do that. Well done.
Glad it was helpful, Kevin! And thanks too, for the compliments. I hope you can find other videos here that are as useful.😁
Excellent video! Was looking for new ways to propagate begonias besides water. Thank you very much.
Thank you Veleria - I really appreciate those kind comments.🙏
Great video Geoff, I look forward to seeing how all the different methods go. I’ve had good success with water propagation.
If you don't see a Part 2 then you'll know they all snuffed it!🤣
@@Grow_Up_Man55 Have some faith. 🤣
Hello, thank you for the great tips :)
Any time!😁
Looking forward to An update on this. I Just tried propagating my first begonia.
I'm just about ready to make one. Coming soon...
Thank you so much.
My pleasure.
I love how you use your goners to cut. That's the way I end up doing it.
😬
Nice one Geoff,interested to see your results👍
You and me both! 😀
Good video Geoff! I have 2 begonia leaves going right now, one in water which I started on Feb. 27th that has some nice roots and one in potting mix using the cone method. Can't tell yet if that one took. The water method works great, I have a number of tradescantia zebrina cuttings that have rooted from that plant I bought a few weeks back. Looking forward to seeing the progress of your cuttings!
Thanks Tommy! I suppose one benefit of the water method is that it’s easier to see progress. I still haven’t got around to covering mine yet so I hope I’m not too late! If there’s a conspicuous absence of a part 2 video you’ll know they all died! 🤣
@@Grow_Up_Man55 I doubt they will all die! Chin up!
Hello, I've just found your channel and I'm absolutely going to binge watch them all! Do you have a video on what potting mix you make for your teadescantias at all?
Glad to hear it! I hope you find some value in them. As far as Tradescantia potting media - they're really not all that fussy. I just use peat-free multipurpose compost and perlite - 50/50. But you can use other mixes successfully too. The very best root growth I've ever experienced is with pure sphagnum moss. In this video I tested various media - you might find it useful: th-cam.com/video/LfoiZOO460c/w-d-xo.html
@@Grow_Up_Man55 thankyou so much!
I have tried 'disc propagation'with rex begonia in the past.
You may also know this method, in which dozens of pieces punched out from a single leaf by a cork borer are used for propagation.
In my case I used a sharpened aluminium cap instead of a cork borer and sand instead of tissue paper for the media.
Although impractical in some respects, such as too many plantlet, it is an enjoyable method for show.
That's a new one to me - fascinating to hear of different methods. They're a very accommodating group of plants. I'm now wondering what I'm going to do with all the young plants from the propagations I made in this video!🤣
@@Grow_Up_Man55 part 2?? Would love to see the results!!
@@debracancelliere4081 It's coming soon...
i got my begonia Luxurians today and i potted it up aswell 😁
Excellent! I'm sure you won't regret it - it's a lovely Begonia species. I guarantee every visitor will express shock when they learn it's a Begonia.🤣
I wish my luxurians looked half as good as yours does. Well done sir.
Thanks Chad! I have to say though - since that video my sister overwatered it while I was away and it's never recovered since. Just sticks at present. I'm hoping it springs back to life once the temps go up but if not I'll need to get a replacement.
Great video and I’m looking forward to seeing the updates. My luxurians is growing well after watching your video. But my water propagated cutting died when transferred into the soil. I hope you can do propagation video for luxurians too!
Thanks Gigi! Glad to hear your Beg. luxurians is doing well. That's always my issue with water propagated plants in that they can develop roots that prefer water! I would suggest perhaps an intermediate stage where you keep them in moss for a while before transferring to soil-based composts. Or just root them in compost in the first place!🤣
@@Grow_Up_Man55 Thanks you. I’ll try that when my plant get taller again!
Interested to see the results! I’ve tried propagating my cane begonias via cone and water methods and failed (rot). So, hopefully will pick up something I’m doing wrong.
Yeah me too. Very often it can just be a numbers game. People try one single method and fail, then conclude it never works with that method, when in reality it might have say, a 60% success rate. I'd love to test these methods 'in bulk' to find out the percentage success rates of each but alas I'd need many more plants - and perhaps a lab!🤣
@@Grow_Up_Man55 You are correct. All these methods have a fail rate, so I should try, try again....
I'm trying out probably 3 of these methods right now. Hoping the bathroom is enough humidity with my grow light
I’m sure it’ll be plenty enough. My most recent video shows my results if you’re interested. I’m sure yours will do really well.
DO you have a B. herbacea? I can't seem to find any good care videos. The reading I've found differs. Thanks for sharing!
No I haven't heard of that one before - but looking it up it definitely looks very un-Begonia like. Hope you manage to find something on it.
I did one similar to your water propagation. But I don’t like to propagate in water so I did it in soil. Much to my chagrin the plant started coming out of the top of the original leaf. Very top heavy! I would not do it this way again. I would try the leaf cutting method or something else. This is a begonia escargot.
Yeah Begonias do that with leaf cuttings - not so much with stem tip cuttings which would probably prevent that from happening. Will be interesting to see what happens with mine. I nearly bought escargot once but it's quite similar to some of the others I have.
Thank you for all of this info, but it doesn’t really help if we cannot see the outcome of each. Which ones took? Which ones started rooting faster? Which ones did not do well?
It helps if you want to watch demos of the propagation methods! For the results - which I refer to in the video, in the pinned comment and in the description, you need to watch this: Begonia Propagation: 🎉 RESULTS! 🥳: th-cam.com/video/TstC9ZBlRv8/w-d-xo.html
What ist that beautiful hanging plant next to your head at about 2:00? It looks 😍 gorgeous! Also I am trying to save my beautiful eyelash begonia with root rot by cutting it up. I hope it will work 😭
Providing you've got some healthy rhizome it should be fairly easy. The plant you're referring to I think is Tradescantia zebrina - here's how I made it:th-cam.com/video/O2IwlfoatcY/w-d-xo.html
Hi I’m writing from Singapore. I have been trying to propagate begonia Rex for 2 months thru stem cutting and leaf cutting as you demonstrated in the video.
I plant the cut leaves into individual cups like you do and water them before placing them at a bright and airy corner of my car porch away from direct sun light.
How after a few days the planted leaves turn black and wither.
What can be the reason?
Try covering them with something transparent to keep the humidity close to the leaves. I've found the wedge cuttings have a greater success rate.
Would like to see an update of this propagations,, how are the plants doin now after 11 months?
And here’s the update: th-cam.com/video/TstC9ZBlRv8/w-d-xo.html
can we use the leaf method for Begonia Magaritacea?
I still don't have my full results from the video, but on preliminary results I'd say the most successful are stem tip cuttings (6:45) or the leaf cutting method (5:50) for this type of Begonia.
Quero comprar
Just to clarify. When propagation is done you cover the plants and pet in a partial shade location?
Bright but not direct sun.
do I water them?
Initially yes - but if they're covered then they shouldn't need watering again. Just keep an eye on them that the media doesn't totally dry out.
Potting or garden soil?
This link takes you straight to where I tell you which media I used: th-cam.com/video/_tO8hJVKkIw/w-d-xo.html
The propagating I find easy, is the after propagating that seems to not work for me... the potting on. once potted on my indoor begonias seem to simply perish... 😪😭
Hmm that's odd. Must be missing something in terms of environmental requirements.🤷♂️
@@Grow_Up_Man55 You can say that again lol
I
I wish you could send me some leaves so I can try this!🤔❓
Haha - I don't think they'd survive the journey across the pond! Begonias are super-cheap, I'm sure you could pick some up somewhere.
@@Grow_Up_Man55 I didn't think of the travel for the begonias 😜
I was pricing begonias in my area and the least expensive one I saw was for $45-$50 I didn't know they were that expensive! I guess it's my area? 🤔
In Philadelphia,We don't even have any nurseries the only place I can purchase plants is at Home Depot or Lowes and their plants are not in good shape half the time!
Hopefully I can find someone who can give me a cutting!
Steve leaves Gabriella plants..are two good vendors
@@Joey-vw1id Yeah cuttings or plug plants are the way to go. They grow so quickly and plug plants over here are less than around $7 US.
I find water propagating easier
Why you put result in this video?..we want to see result
The link to the results is in the description and in the pinned comment and the end screen. But to save you looking, here it is: th-cam.com/video/TstC9ZBlRv8/w-d-xo.html
Well, you forgot one. Seeds! 🤣
I did have it in my notes to mention seeds but then forgot all about it! 🤷♂️😳🤣
@@Grow_Up_Man55 uh-oh, maybe it is time to check into the old folks home 😉
I feel like I’m already there.
By the way have you seen colocasia pharaoh's mask? I’m hankering after one.
@@Grow_Up_Man55 I think Jeff (Tropical Plant Party) has is. I'm not really into the Colocasia/Alocasia/etc.
