rooting Angel Wing cuttings!

Posted by ks-girl 6 - Ks (My Page) on

I just got an assortment of Angel Wing Begonia cuttings and was wondering the best way to root them.
The last ones I put in water untill roots were just starting and than potted them up.

Does anyone have any other ways that work good for them?

Thanks

RE: rooting Angel Wing cuttings!

Water rooting always works but keep an eye on the water souring which will lead to rot.

It is very easy to root canes in some "good" potting soil and keeping the soil moist (Not soaking wet). Cane begonias should root in a week or two.

For canes with several nodes you can lay the cane horizontally on a bed of perlite or good potting soil. Keep moist as above and new canes should emerge at most nodes.

Thanks hcmcdole!

I put them all in water to start off and as I see roots just start to pop out I than am potting them up and it seems to be working well so far.
