rooted in water

15 years ago

I have a bunch of cuttings of Red Dragon Wing Begonias that

I have rooted in water. Now what? The roots seem so

delicate that throwing them in dirt would damage them...??

What now? Wait til they're more sturdy or toss them in

dirt?

Tom8, I'd go ahead and put them in soil. The roots need to develope root hairs to absorb water from the soil and they'll start trying to form them as soon as you have air and soil touching them. So the sooner you do that the sooner they'll get over the transplant shock.That being said....If Butch has a different opinion listen to him, I'm a plant person but he's a begonia person. Anita
