- UPDATE: make sure you get a bit of stem with it. I will redo this video in September but if you take just a small bit of stem with it it will grow new shoots.
I will show you how i have successfully propagated a cissus discolor - the begonia Rex vine

This is a heck of a good plant for my plant wall then. The constantly moist but never soggy fabrics are just as aery and wet as sphagnum! cant wait to try
What! How awesome!
All well and good showing how to take cuttings of a rex vine, but the hardest thing is finding one in the first place to take cutting from!!! As rare as a Dutch mountaineer!!!
Oh nice! I have one I’ve kept in a glass of water in a jar to maintain humidity with medium bright light - about a week... tomorrow I’ll try your sphagnum moss technique and compare with results - thanks for sharing!!!!
Hey how’d it go? Have you got signs of roots?
Yessss thank you!
thank you
I followed your instructions with 100% success! I'm amazed by how quickly they rooted. I started with 4 leaves and 2 are ready for planting in soil. The other 2 need to root for a bit longer. Wish I could add photos for you to see. Thank you for your great video! 😀
After you have rooted it, what soil medium do you like to use to pot it up in?
Thanks❤
This is not going to grow into a new plant. You need to root the leaf with a node attached.
Thank u!:)
Did this ever grow into a cissus plant? It's been 5 months now and I'd love an update! Someone alove mentioned that a leaf culling without nodes will never grow into an actual plant.
Hey Carlyn yes I did. It did grow a stem and I do agree with what some other have said about needing a bit of the stem. I took 5 leaf cuttings and the one you see here was the only one to actually grow Into a plant and I believe this is because it had the smallest amount of stem tissue with it. Since then I include 2cm worth of stem and have grown a further 4. I will be doing a follow up to this video to show that
@@YourBabylonPlants When?
Thanks
Hi!! Hows it going with the propagated leave?
Curious about it 😁
What care tips do you recommend? I just got one and I'm getting different care tips I dont know what to do! 😣
Pls let me know what type of soil and moisture
how long do you keep in the container(and not open to peek in?) do u moist the moss at all after placing the leaf in?
How long did it take for the leaf on cutting to die off? I’ve just got some rooted cuttings and have put them into soil, but one of the leaves on one of the cuttings is wilting away.
Thanks for this video. I want to propagate it so I don't lose the plant since it did not arrive looking so great and I lost several leaves since. Is it a good idea to do that during the ending of a season or it doesn't matter?
Hey I think you can propagate them all year round I have no issues doing it myself please make sure you read the description on the video as I've added an extra piece of information which is to include a segment of the stem
Where did you buy it in UK. Not able to find it anywhere.
I think I got it from a amphibian shop originally
Very informative video.
Thanks
Thanks Avant. Could you suggest any more videos I could do?
@@YourBabylonPlants I cannot think of any specific videos right now but I did enjoy your tour of the Botanical Garden so perhaps something along those lines?
Oh yes I have 2 more botanical gardens tours coming. Eden project and Amsterdam. Please hit notify to know when I upload
How is your rooted leaf doing now? I tried this method after watching your video and following your advice and it worked! All three of the leaves I started now have roots. It took about three weeks. Thanks again. I’d love to see a follow up video!
Yes I’ll share a follow up in a few weeks. I’ve planted one in a mix of soil and sphagnum for its ease in transfer. The other I’m leaving until I see the start of new foliage/ stem in the sphagnum which is my preference. They take the move hard I feel sometimes. But just keep it in damp and humidity and it will work. Please follow my channel and hit notify and you will see the next update
What about dioscorea discolor ? I cant find any information on them at all
The Dioscorea Discolor have to grow from the rhizome/bulb, or what they call it. Very few has successfully grown roots from a regular cutting on that one 😊
Any basic care tips?
Hi Andrew. That’s a good question. Yes I’ll provide an update to this with some care tips and let you know
whats ur advice on propagating the plant all together do i just cut the stem and place the vine in the moss? my plant is completely dying and i have to save it but i havent found much info on this plant. lol 💛
Hey do you have any foliage (leaves)to save? If not then you can take a stem cutting, it make sure it has some leaf on it and put that in moss also
Your Babylon Plants yes there’s like 2 in each. lol i’m going to put it in water, then i’ll be putting it in the moss after i go buy it :) thank you for the information
I watched one of your video's in a beautiful place of plants that you visited. You picked up a plant with beautiful leaves and called it a dragon tail, could you tell me what else it is under as I could not find it. Thank You..........The leaves were truly magnificent....
I think it was an alocasia dragon scale and a pink one
You never said if you water it at all Throughout or just the one time when you start it
hey - i just make sure that whilst its rooting i keep the moss moist - please also see my update in the description regarding the cutting of this
Will this grow into a vine though considering there is no node?
Miss Felicity it will not grow into anything other than that leaf you are right. I’m actually rooting cissus right now but I’m rooting the lead attached to nodes. I hope people don’t watch this video thinking they are going to get a new plant by this method.
Begonias don’t need nodes
Joy Montemayor this is not a true Begonia, hence its name Cissus discolor.
@@joymontemayor138 This is not a Begonia but a Cissus
@@cynthiaallen2420 can you propágate in water? I see most videos doing it in moss.
I'm having trouble keeping mine alive! Even bought a humidifier for it and nothing😒 keeps dying off, pls help
Heat.
@@dianesheehan8225 thank you! I'm going to try again
You will only get a rooted leaf . It will not send off a new stem or plant . Must have node attached .
yes I have a redo video coming and added info in the description of this vid
Y’all do understand that begonias can root from a leaf right?
But this isn't a begonia.....
People call it a begonia sometimes but its not actually a begonia at all.
It’s not a begonia or even in the same family- begonia Rex vine is a moniker. It is actually in the grape family.
