How to Propagate Angel Wing Begonias - A complete guide

In this video, I cover techniques for propagating angel wing begonias. I review learnings from a propagation experiment I did 18 months ago and show updates on some of those plants that were just single, mangled cuttings last year.
I cover cuttings in dirt and water and kick off two new experiments inspired by comments from the previous angel wing begonia propagation experiment.
Here is a link to the previous experiment's results - • Angel Wing Begonia Pro...

Your Begonias are so gorgeous 😍 thanks for sharing your experiment with us!

Thanks!

[@Plantsforme989]

I'm absolutely going to try this!!! Thank you for trying out the cutting experiment so I didn't have to!😊

[@vibonitatropics]

You can do it!

[@megawatt3946]

Great video! Stunning plants. So inspiring & informative. Thx! ❤

[@vibonitatropics]

Thanks for the feedback!

[@melaniejaegli3056]

Awesome!! This was a life saver. I'm hopeful now to save mine that has lost most of its leaves 😂

[@vibonitatropics]

Just cut up the vines and stick in dirt. One node per cutting has worked best for me.

[@melaniejaegli3056]

@@vibonitatropics definitely will!

OMG, you’re a life saver! Thanks for this video!

[@vibonitatropics]

Any questions, just shout!

[@melaniejaegli3056]

Also have you seen any growth at all from the leaf cuttings? I've seen lots doing that but just snapping the main vein in the leaf and setting it in soil. They've sprouted several leaves from those veins!

[@vibonitatropics]

Mostly no. I'm probably not doing something correctly because I know it should work.
I did get one leaf (full leaf with a partial stem, no node) that has sprung a few roots. The rest are starting to get mushy.
I did get a Rex begonia leaf to grow some roots as well (no video on that yet) by sticking it in dirt and providing regular water.

@@vibonitatropics interesting! I might sacrifice a leaf just to try for myself haha. Thanks for reply

Thank You. Mine is about 6.5 ft. And with the pot it is now 2 inches from touching the ceiling. If I let it continue will it bend by it self and keep growing downward?

[@vibonitatropics]

Yes. I often have one that grows in full sun and the vines get 12-14 feet long. The go up to about 6-7 feet and eventually start growing back down.
