Two little flowers right behind you. 😊🌸🌸

Mike i have been rooting the angel wing begonias for the last 15 years. My 87 year old father received one in 1982 at the passing of his father. He loved the wings and began rooting it and sharing the plant with neighbors friends and and family. I do the same and it is a joy. That same plant has been rooted and shared hundreds of times between me and daddy. The flowers are just beautiful. Daddy says that his cup runneth over when he shares his wings. Try this plant you'll love it. Love you plant with your girls!

So glad you are homeschooling your kids :) Priceless

Our 4 year old discovered begonias this year. She says, "They SPARKLE!" I'm so glad I found this video. We will be trying this together. 💗 Your girls are adorable!

It’s impressive that you incorporate your children into these videos. Hopefully they too, will learn in it and appreciate the love for plants

Because of your video,s i now watch and have for some time ,, i was inspired to take some rose cuttings from a bush i have, thats about 6 years old, i origanally bought from the aldi store, its a rose with yellow flowers and pink teardrop spots on the petals , anyway i took the cuttings back in early august, and put them in old compost in an 8 inch pot in the greenhouse, i took 8 cuttings and used rooting powder, i watered them once and left them, today i checked them and to my suprise they have all taken and the roots are coming out the bottom of the pot, i couldnt believe it ,its the first time i have ever taken cuttings from a rose bush im really over the moon at my sucsess, thanks to you ..happy gardening..

Great video Mike....I love how you are teaching your daughters all about plants :)

One cool thing about Begonias is they have both male & female flowers on the same plant & they're easy to tell apart. Even my teenage grandson thought it was neat.

I love to see you teaching your girl, they will always remember this .... thank you for this video 👌🏼🇨🇦

I love how you encourage and teach fun ways to get your daughters engaged with nature and how things grow.

I love the girls working with you

It's wonderful to see you teaching your kids! Great video!

Hi Mike, i just want to say watching your videos and seeing your energy for plants through lockdown has gotten me through my anxiety and mild depression and kept me busy- thank you!

Teaching a child or an adult to say thank you, is beautiful. We owe gratitude to everything if we stop to think about it. And nothing is better for us than a grateful heart.

Mike you are a plant genius! It is so beautiful you are including you girls in you horticulture interest.

Awww your girls are so precious! If any dislikes this then they're just horrible. Pretty girls doing what Dad does, love!

Yes ! I absolutely LOVE how you are involving your family.

I have a beautiful full orange begonia that I want to propagate. I will try this thank you. Your daughters are beautiful. I was worried they were going to cut themselves but they did fine. Thank you

Looks like you have a couple of PROS helping you there! Great job!

Wonderful to find the kids to help,its a very good way to teach children into something good,

So cute how your daughters helps out to do planting with you 👏😊

Lol Mike I learn something every time I watch you

I've heard begonias can also be propagated from a single leaf stem. I haven't try to grow begonias or buy them because I thought they cannot survive through winter. I have a wild begonia type in my garden, which is self-propagating from its seeds. The flower is light pink and small, but the plant grows fast and tall, but it dies every winter. It is nice to have your children participating in the work. They can learn the skills and stay away from computer games.

Another great and informative video. I like how excited you get over rooting plants.

75% success with begonias is good. Last winter, as the calendar approached the spring equinox I was forced to trim 30 begonias in the greenhouse. The trimmings produces 175 propagation starts. Generally I am happy with 50% success with my begonias. I am puzzled that some rooted within weeks, some months, and others not at all. I was pleased to see success with the SANSI LED lights, I have purchased several of that model and look forward to using them for propagation, I wasn't sure about it being a good move - you have proven it will be. (maybe I should grow some gegonias and some beraniums? Just being snarky)

WOW that yellow 💛 one is beautiful 😍❤️

The best of watching yr videos is bcse we can see the result in one.video..most of them show video of propagation without showing result..just waste time watching...your videos is worth watching..tqvm

Your sweet girls are going to love gardening & propagation when they grow up💕

Thanks for sharing. Great tips for these beauty. I love these plants’..Beautiful girls!

Your videos are much more enjoyable when you are teaching those two beautiful daughters and they are involved. You are easy on the eye, but those two daughters add flavoring.

Your so cool men, my 5 year old son love the begonias i got 3 varieties and this video is my key to work it out to make more begonia. Thanks body, more power and God bless. Shout out fro Philippines

I like begonias. Hmmmm. LOL Mike I have seen nothing in any of your videos I've watched so far - that I don't like. I LOVE LOVE LOVE your videos. All of them, from 0ver 6 years and farther back to those more recent ones 2024. OH... I cut some tops off my sweet potato vines I bought around June. I stuck them in some water a few days ago. Left them outside. I noticed I had let sun get on them - they looked a bit "stressed". I took them over to my RV - sat them by my back window that faces East - added a bit more water - raised them out of water and darned if they didn't have roots! Already! Oh my goodness. Wow! I also stuck some mint tips in water, and they are looking ok too. I will continue watching!!! Oh yeah. I have to try to find something to use to pot them in (the soil) I guess maybe half potting soil and half pearlite? Would that work. I have several small plastic pots some of my plants came in! I like Chobani too - any flavor! Can we overwinter them once we pot them? You just answered my question. :-) Wow is right! Well I need lights now too. Those three are great. Wow. I will spend this fall getting things ready for next spring. Yup. But I am going to work on keeping my sweet potato vines going - and my mint! :-)

As a newer gardener I appreciate seeing someone with more experience not have 100% success and keep going! Inspired!!!

Alive is good. You did call them geraniums when you put them on the wood planks. I have a neon salmon-colored begonia I'm hoping to propagate. My grandmother used to grow begonias as house plants, I'm going to try that.

Adore your enthusiasm & great that you take time to share your love & devotion with your daughters who take part in your propagation, keep up the fantastic quality videos⭐️⭐️⭐️

Love that you have the help of your girls! I love getting my grandkids to help with gardening. Wholesome and educational, and what a wonderful hobby or leisure activity! We don't have to tell you just how precious they are! Thank you!

This is wonderful! I love that you're sharing your knowledge with your kids and keeping them involved. And those girls are cute as a button! Stole the show...add some chicks n a bunny or a puppy dog and you're in trouble Mike...beautiful family! They look just like you...peas in a pod! God bless!

Can't believe there's someone out there giving a thumbs down. hopefully just on their phone with fat fingers

"the flavor is the problem?? " haha i love your kid !!

I truly appreciate your enthusiasm 👍 I've had a Begonia for several years and ir got broken off 😢 I'm going to give your method a shot. It's December but I've got to try. I too use yogurt cups lol so you get a 👍 up from me. The children are great keep up the good work .

Thank you so much for this video! So informative and very encouraging as I sometimes wondered if I was doing something wrong when sometimes it just takes patience! Thanks again!

Good to see the kids taking interest in nature and I love strawberry yogurt! Who doesn't? ;)

Great job on getting the little ones involved...love it.

I like your videos, Mike." Plant Propagation" is the way to grow. Thanks for sharing those great explanations! :)

What precious little girls! So glad they are learning good propagation techniques!

Haters are gonna hate!.......Gardeners are gonna propagate!

What a wonderful attitude about the thumbs down … I don’t understand why these videos would get a thumbs down … we’re receiving free valuable information … thumbs up from me continuously 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

Well done mike great stuff.

Great episode Mike. Can’t wait to see how they do over the winter. I got my cuttings going like you did then put them in a window over winter that got a lot of morning to mid day sun and they did great come spring. Can’t wait to see net episode on these cuttings

I absolutely love this program. Mike you are so amazing and I got the propagation “disease” from you Thanks a lot😂😂😂😂it’s the best I’m doing rose cuttings and hydrangeas this time it’s been about two weeks and I’m getting new growth already

Good job all of you! 😄👍👍 Thanks for sharing.

Some people thumbs down a video just to be hateful. I wouldn’t take it personally. Those people usually don’t watch the video. It’s also possible that KZfaq recommends your videos to people who don’t care about gardening so they down thumb it because they think that will stop KZfaq from recommending this type of video in the future. Your girls are adorable and I love your videos 💕👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Love it when you have the girls helping they are so cute

Instant thumbs up from me! Not cuz you asked, but because you deserve it! You are the number one source for these propogation on KZfaq. I have learned so much and have been so inspired my downtown apartment has turned into one big propogation box I have begonias going as well!

Great energy and fun to watch. Loved that kids were getting excited about it too. Less excited about the segue music choice but that’s taste I suppose! Defo keep watching.

Gotta love the haters mike. Just keep doing the videos. And the girls always add extra character. They are great.

I like your presentations. I was not trying to learn how to propagate or anything. I just like watching your show.

So funny & cute video for garden hobbies ...we sure love most of your video and the wonderful tips that you take time to share, good luck with your continuing to dedicate to all people whose love gardening 🧑‍🌾 thank you 😊

Loved it teaching your daughters. GREAT JOB

Begonias are easy to grow from cuttings. Always see to it they are kept in warm area by winter. Kidz are so lovely.

😂 I’m also using my empty yogurt containers for cuttings! Love your girls, never too young to learn about growing plants

Thanks Mike! It was interesting. 😊 To be honest I like to propagate my begonias (and geraniums) in water. They are rooting much faster (for me). I even propagate the leaves in water. 🙃🙂 And last, but not least... I love strawberry (too)! 😁😁😁 Adios! 👋

Cane Begonia are easy. Rex is different!! 🍃🥀🍃

Lovely teaching the girls. So cute. they could put the flowers into a shallow bowl filled with water

Hoping to propagate these plants and keep them alive over the winter so I don't have to buy more next year... But somehow I end up buying more anyway 😂

Cant believe the thumbs down. I enjoy your teaching Mike. Basic is important.

Haters will hate Mike! Great video

I use 50% sand/compost as they root much quicker I found as the new roots love sand as it's easier to penetrate than compost material on its own as there is a lot of fibre to push through and it takes the cuttings a very long time to do anything. It also saves on compost.

I think children learn from their parents by osmosis. Often described as genetics but it's not genetic its learning from their parents without it being instructed. And yet when they become mid teens they blossom into skill that their parents had practiced less expertly. I have seen this phenomenon in the context of mechanical ability. Musical instrument playing and in sports . Here in your video you actually instruct your girls . Plus osmosis they will far exceed you in plant probagation careers if they chose that vocation or advocation

You got a beautiful family, Mike. Great way to teach kids about gardening. I got Begonia Rex today because of its beautiful silver green color which I never saw before. I am going to try your idea on this new variety.

Lol God bless them so pretty and smart Iam sure...great job girls,👍

Love the yellow begonia,

Look how carefully she moved the cap as to not to cut the leaf:) your babies got the green thumb too🎋

You and your kids are awesome. Trinidad 🇹🇹

^^ There's at least one person who does NOT like vanilla yogurt!! hahaha Your videos are always inspiring for me. I love your enthusiasm for growing things. I have a Begonia on my back porch. I bought the tuber years ago, planted it outdoors, dug it up at the end of the season and stored it in a paper bag in the basement. Completely forgot about it for at least a year. That tuber sat in the dark all that time but it had little sprouts when I discovered it. I potted it. It was making a comeback when my cat knocked against it completely breaking off the stem at the soil line. It spent the summer on my porch , made a terrific comeback (again!) and wouldn't you know a windstorm came about a week ago and blew it over? It's kind of cock-eyed now but still hanging on :) The Little Begonia That Could.

Your daughters are so helpful and learning from dad! Are they twins? I really enjoy your videos!

Child labor that's the way to do it mike! 😂😂 love the video!

Ohhhh, I’ve never seen that color before! I’m in central Texas! Seems everything here is pink or red, small but lots of blooms on a stem! Those are beautiful!

You're hilarious and your kids are ADORABLE!

Thank you for sharing this video!❤️

I like this flower

Another Nice Informative video!! Great Job!!! But at like 14:20 or so you said you mixed up some plant fertalizer and watered them. Plant fertalizer, I believe doesn't feed the Mycorrhizae. You spent a nice chunk of change on the Pro-Mix with Mycorrhizae but didn't utilize the Mycorrhizae. In short you should have added some simple sugars to your Fertalizer like brewers corn sugar or Molasses to feed the Mycorrhizae. The whole point is to feed the Microbes in the dirt and they feed your plants. There is a book called Teaming With Microbes, I forget who wrote it but it might save you alot of money on fertalizer. Once again nice job on the video!!!!

I miss spring already

Begonia, Mike! 😂😂 I love that you are teaching your girls how to propagate, good job! They both did great! Patience is a virtue, keep on teaching and being patient with them! Bravo! Plants turned out beautiful too. My mom propagates them without growth hormone but it might be better with it. Hugs to you all!

Can't wait to see more indoor stuff fig cuttings and all

It looks as though the one that didn't make it was also the only one that had a small flower bud. I wonder if you had emoved that flower bud, perhaps that plant would have survived...more energy for rooting development, etc... Amazing.

Funny, informative, and cute kids.

a BIG thumbs up from sunny South Africa :)

Are you a science/ geography teacher. I Love your video and your little helpers.

I don't know about the yogurt flavor but adding the girls was definitely a great executive decision 😄 . I think it's hilarious that there's people out there who are so constipated with negativity thumbs down a "garden how to". Anyways what they say in Hollywood any attention is good attention! Seriously gardening is one of the few things I do because it keeps my head balanced . Sometimes it's definitely a service to society Haha. Thanks Mike I did learn something

God bless you and your beautiful two angels ❤

Hey Mr. Mike, well i couldn't see the video of light that we saw it now because i was sick, but of course i'm gonna see it, now about this video it's really amazing because every single thing in it is wonderful, and like someone said (i think his name is Brent and if i'm wrong, sorry buddy) in the comments that you're teaching your adorable daughters and letting them work with you, and that shows that you love them too much "from me your an incredible father, GOD bless them both and GOD bless you either of course " yeah to continue ,love them too much (other than because you're there father, i'm talking spiritually here) because i know what the plant means to its owner, never ever let someone else even touch them (as for me I swear to GOD that every single time i let someone see a plant of mine, it dies next day) now the last thing because i turned this comment into a newspaper 😂😂, first what happened with your pinky finger?, second also what happened with the aquarium and the fishes? ,and lastly, i'm 28 years old so what do you prefer calling you Mr. Mike or just Mike?, may you have a wonderful day.

Yep! I like it! OAG

Gotta love the kids

Man I was hoping you said plain yogurt cuz you used the yogurt to make pizza 🍕 crust 😂. I had to throw that out there for those people disliking you're video! 😂 Can't make everyone happy 😁 but you did me!!

😂 just watched this video again 🤣

trying leaf cutting growth with "landscape" begonias ... 1st day planted for root growth ... thanks for advice ... using cardboard starter 'pots' in resealable gallon plastic bags to hold in humidity ... time will tell

Off topic of course. Second experience to verify your contention that low moisture is the secret to vigorous root growth I purchased two Turkey fig single trunk trees in April. They were horribly root bound in a 3 gallon pot . I planted them in ground dug a bigger hole in horrible subsoil dirt with good soil in the hole. In early October 5 tons of dirt were dumped on the two fig trees. The fig tree I dug out . Very little water was given to the tree during the summer with well below average rainfall. When I got to the roots the roots had grown into the very dry soil . Mostly rotten shale . The roots had grown into shale rock and throughout the very dry soil. . I was very impressed by the one season root growth into the soil beyond the dug hole . It seems I had great sucess by not disturbing the tight circled riot bound root ball. The other tree I unboundthe roots in a determined way and it showed the harm i did. After digging the 2ed tree up the roots were 1/3 of the original . They never grew into the subsoil like the 1st tree . Also I would like to report that that people were winning bids on the figbid site for Black Medria kk from $150 to $225. For rooted and potted airlayer. There is your $6000 Dollars. Un believable!. Really but true.

Omg ! U cloned your kids ! Look just like you ! Lol cuteies !

We seen the new gardeners for the future GT job extra pocket money they earn it thanks for your time 👣👣🐞🐦👍👍👍👍👍👍
