I put cuts along the length of the veins to the tips and those cuts made new plants too. I got 10 babies off mine when I did the flat leaf method.

Glad to be of help - however that may come about! With the Strep leaves you cut right along either side of the 'rib' down the centre, effectively cutting it out, then plant the remaining 2 halves of leaf. It works really well.

I have tried 'disc propagation'with rex begonia in the past. You may also know this method, in which dozens of pieces punched out from a single leaf by a cork borer are used for propagation. In my case I used a sharpened aluminium cap instead of a cork borer and sand instead of tissue paper for the media. Although impractical in some respects, such as too many plantlet, it is an enjoyable method for show.

I did one similar to your water propagation. But I don’t like to propagate in water so I did it in soil. Much to my chagrin the plant started coming out of the top of the original leaf. Very top heavy! I would not do it this way again. I would try the leaf cutting method or something else. This is a begonia escargot.
@Grow_Up_Man552 жыл бұрын
Yeah Begonias do that with leaf cuttings - not so much with stem tip cuttings which would probably prevent that from happening. Will be interesting to see what happens with mine. I nearly bought escargot once but it's quite similar to some of the others I have.

I plant the cut leaves into individual cups like you do and water them before placing them at a bright and airy corner of my car porch away from direct sun light. How after a few days the planted leaves turn black and wither. What can be the reason?
