Linda Dawn lost leaves

Hi,

A couple of days after I brought my Beg. Linda Dawn home to my greenhouse, it lost all its leaves. The 2 stems are in good shape, but bare, and about 6 inches high. Should I just leave them in the pot and continue watering lightly or take cuttings of the stems and try to root? Thanks for any information you can give me!

I would provide a bright warm location and new leaves should appear soon. Watch for mildew and spray as needed. If it appears the stems are rotting then I would take cuttings ASAP. Let the soil dry some between watering.

Thanks for your reply. I'll try that! It's a beautiful begonia, and I would hate to lose it.
