| It's just about time for me to try this, but I'm unsure as to where to make the cut. Come to think of it, I'm pretty unsure of the whole thing! Will these cuttings grow into full sized plants that'll bloom next spring? I'm just getting into begonias and am thoroughly hooked on their beauty. Any advice would sure be appreciated. |

| A leaf cutting is layed on the surface of soil.... several cuts are made into the veins of the leaf & pins are often used to hold the leaf down some misting is need. My fingers are stiff & sometimes hit several keys. I was saying also try STEM and/or TIP Cuttings |
