So I bought from Lowes what I thought was a Begonia Escargot, but it turns out it was actually a Princess of Hanover. Anyway, all the leaves died back, but before that happened I had grabbed a leaf to propagate in water. The propagation has lots of roots and you can see mini leaves starting to appear. It is even shooting a new bud at the top of the leaf. Now eventually I want to move this to soil. I assume I should plant the developing rhizome horizontally on the soil just below the surface. I don’t think it should be vertically because then some of the young leaves would be buried too deep in the soil. Does that seem correct? Should I let the new leaves get bigger before transplanting to soil? What about the bud at the top of the leaf? Should I cut the leaf off with bud and plant that in another pot? My plan for going to soil will to be to keep it well watered the first two weeks as that has been what it has been used to as it gradually acclimates to soil. Any thoughts on this?

    I would lay is on moist perlite. If those smaller sections with leaves each have good roots, you should be able to snip in between and push each into the perlite. And put a done over them to finish up propping.
