propagating begonias from leaf cuttings. In this video I separate the baby plantlets from the parent leaf and pot them up.
Here is the first video about propagating begonias...

I really enjoyed seeing this video. I'm in Ireland too. Can you do this with Begonias that you have bought as rhizomes?
Hi there. Good question.
Begonias are divided into different groups. All of the following can be propagated from leaves, as shown in this video : cane-stemmed begonias, rex-cultorum begonias, rhizomatous begonias, shrub-like begonias.
The semperflorens and tuberous begonias cannot be propagated in this way. I presume the begonias you are talking about are the tuberous summer-flowering ones so the answer is, unfortunately, no! Try propagation with basal or stem cuttings for this group!
I hope this helps.
Hey, how many weeks does it take for the babies to grow that big?
Watching my grandma do this when I was a little boy sparked my interest in growing plants. I still find it a fascinating method of propagation.
It is kind of magic how those baby plants pop up through the parent!
This method worked wonderfully after two months ! As a first time begonia leaf propogator, I got three baby plants from one leaf! Thanks!
Congratulations 😊
Thank you so much from mobile Alabama USA! I want to do this but did not know you could grow so many from one leaf.,so exciting. That is one hairy begonia, a real beauty.
This is how I found your page!! I am so excited, because my first attempt at with my Begonia Rex is several days in progress! Fingers crossed & thanks so much!
You are very welcome to the channel. It is great to meet other begonia lovers. Fingers crossed for your propagation.
This was so satisfying to watch. Just got my first Begonia yesterday and they are such lovely plants. I the first video about a month ago and that's actually what inspired me to get this plant. This popped up in my feed today and I'm so happy to see such successful propagation.
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent demonstration. Thank you so much. Regards from 120 km from Mumbai, India.
I have a nursery and propagate tropical fruits and ornamental plants. These plants are very delicate and I have a few Iron cross begonia's, your demonstration will be a great help
Thank you for watching and I am really glad that you have found the video useful. Your nursery sounds interesting and I wish you every success.

Thank you for the kind wishes.
I am so happy to have found your channel. You are an absolute light with amazing energy! Can't wait to continue learning from your successes. Cheers!
What a lovely thing to say. Thank you and you are very welcome to the channel.
Amazing. They love that medium.
How I wish Rachel, I've no luck with them at all😢 you could really hear the excitement in you voice when you discovered all those roots! Brilliant and I love how you just get your hands dirty....no gloves
Haha 🤗 Thank you.
I literally had no clue you could do this. Plants are so cool.
Yes, they really are. You'll have to give it a go!
Thank you for this video update 😊really informative and educational.
Glad it was helpful!
I find this really amazing. Thanks for sharing your technique. I have never seen this in the USA.
Give it a try and good luck!
Hi I'm new Ann from South Carolina U S loved your vedio
Thank you and welcome to the channel
Beautiful soilmix! Lots of hugs from southern Sweden 🤗
love the video and your wonderful accent!
Thanks for watching
Very nice propagation! Nicely explained. Thanks for the video and happy growing.
Thanks, Mary, and good luck with your new begonias.
Thank you for this video, my leaf cutting has worked and was just thinking what to do with them.
Glad I could help!
Very impressive results!
An easy propagation!
Loving your orchids😍😍
Thank you
Great video! I am going to try it!
Super!
Madam . I am indian country. Kerala state. good video. All the best maadam good information
Good morning to you and thank you for watching. I have never been to Kerala State but I love India 😉 😊
Hola no espeak inglish,soy de Tabasco M exico me encantó este video no sabía que de esa,forma se podía reproducir las begonia s felicidades,por tan bellas plantas
gracias 😊
Awesome❗️very lovely, thanks for sharing 🌸🌺🌼
Thank you for watching
this is fascinating.
Thank you.
Will direct morning sun change the color? I bot what I thought was Makado Silver and I gave it super thrive and it sits in a sunny window facing east. Well wouldn't you know it, it turned a beautiful red. Do you think it's the Sun or the superthrive? It does not look anything like it did when I bought it, but beautiful nonetheless. Live your videos.
Love your videos! I was wondering, when you do propagation by leaf slitting, what are the light requirements?
Thank you. Your comments are much appreciated and welcome to the channel. I would keep the leaf cuttings in a relatively low-light situation. Perhaps on a north-facing windowsill. They do need light but, as with the parent plants, not high light. So keep in similar light conditions as the parent plants! Hope this answers your question.
I have a couple of questions for you. When you first placed the mother leaf into the pot you sprayed the soil and covered it with cling wrap. How long did you leave the cling wrap on the pot? Also when did you water and how often? Thank you. Love your videos. Julie
Hello and good morning. With this propagation method I watered only once as the cuttings are covered and in a closed system therefore the water cannot escape. Once the lid is removed, attention to watering is necessary. I left the cover on until I saw baby leaves. Hope this helps.
Amazing
Thank you very much. A great and easily understandable video. Could you say how much time has passed between the 2 videos?
Glad you like the video. I can't remember how long there is between the two stages but normally it takes about two months for baby plantlets to appear.
Wow. this is so helpful. I have a few leaves that I didn't press into the medium--they actually have risen out of the soil. It seems they are growing a root system off of the little stem that was left. Should I try to add soil up to the level of the leaf, press them flat and see what happens? Or leave them and see if the roots produce a baby? Also, how long did you leave them in plastic to maintain humidity?? The whole 6 weeks?
Hi there. Lots of begonias will root by just placing a leaf on a stem in a glass of water or soil (see my latest houseplant tour video). I would say to leave your cuttings alone and soon they will make top growth.
I left my leaves in the sealed plastic box until I noticed the new baby leaves coming. When you move them out, keep a careful eye on watering as they can dehydrate easily. Hope this helps.
@@GardeningatDouentza Thank you, super helpful! Sounds good. I took them out of their bags already but have been misting and watching the medium closely. One of them has started to show a tiny baby, we'll see how the rest do! Thanks again for a great video!
Amei muito bom❤🙏
Really liked your video I just love begonias can I do this with non stop begonias and if so when is the best time to do this would love to be able to grow my own thank you
Please see the note pinned at the top of the comments.

I want a begonia sizemoreae so much. I’ve never seen one in real life.
Where do you live? You can buy them from Dibley's in UK.
Gardening at Douentza I live in South Carolina in the us. I’ll keep looking for it but I haven’t seen them at any garden centers. I might just have to find one online.
Steve's leaves.com will allow 1 plant per family. The plant is from Vietnam and in high demand.
I find it so amazing you can start a plant just from a leaf! Will this work with nonstop Begonias?🍃🌱🌼
Hi there and thank you for watching. The begonia you are talking about is known as Begonia x tuberhybrida and cannot be propagated in this way. It is propagated by basal cuttings or stem cuttings from side shoots. Hope this helps.
Gardening at Douentza thank you so much!❤️
Hello! Thank you for this video. Its exactly what I was looking for 😍. A question about watering, do you moisten the compost or just keep it under the clingfilm until the leaves have sprouted?
I moisten the compost once and then keep the climg film on. It is then a closed system so there is no need to rewater. Hope this answers your question.
It does thank you! Excited to see the progress :)
Forgive me if I missed you saying when is the best time of year to do this leaf propagation because it does take at least 4 months to see if it took. I live on the east coast, and think keeping those 'months' in mind, i would say possibly in the month of December, which brings the 4th month, the beginning of Spring. Would you agree or does it matter at all?
I don't think it matters too much when you do leaf propagation. I guess spring is ideal but I have regularly done it in winter, as with this video.
What do you mean when you say compost? I'm in the US, and compost is cow manure (or, if made at home, food scraps). Is that what you use, or is it more of a potting mix, like Peat moss or cocopeat?
Potting compost
She means a good potting soil without fertilizer added. Like peat, perlite and vermiculite only .
Great videos! I have a Begonia but it’s not the fuzzy kind... will this propitiation method work for it as well? I think it’s called an angel wing.
Hi. Here's a link on propagating angel wing begonias...

Thanks for watching 🤗
Hi how long did your leaf cuttings take to root ??
Roots can grow within a few weeks but you won't know this. Only when little plantlets appear on the surface will you know that your cuttings are successful. This can take up to a month and a half. Hope this helps.
I’ve seen videos where the cut the leaf into multiple sections between veins and then just put the bottoms of those sections in soil. Is this essentially the same method except they are just coming from the bottom where the leaf was cut instead of from all the little slits on the veins? Thank you.
Yes, you can do that method if you want. The smaller you cut the leaf, the more experience you need to avoid rotting.
@@GardeningatDouentza i cut it up small abt 1 inch and covered...will i get babies for it?
@@joannedmello6204 The smaller you cut the pices, the more likely the leaves are to rot rather than make babies.
@@GardeningatDouentza okay, thanks 😓
@@GardeningatDouentza how long do they take to grow into tiny plants, like yours?
Bonjour, as-tu pensé à acheter un Begonia pavonina? Si tu aimes les bégonias, ça te fera un vrai plaisir que d'en cultiver un. :)
Il semble très joli. Jamais vu ici en Irlande.
Please tell me what the potin mixed Thank you
Check out my begonia potting video...

After how days or month baby plant grow.? Can I propagate in normal soil?
You can try in normal soil but best results come from a more aerated mix.
How can I propagate Rex begonia ?
This is the propagation method for red begonias
HOw to make potting mix?
