Hi! Iâm thinking about propagating my polka dot begonia by cutting it in these two places and putting the stem cuttings into soil. Iâd also thought about cutting the stems one node up, removing the bottoms leaves and propagating the stems in soil as well as the chopped leaves.
Thoughts ?? Iâve never propagated begonias before đ€·đŒââïž

Got these poor kids at Walmart! Was flooded out so I got both of these for $2 each. No clue what kind they are though! Any ideas? I feel like they are the same kind, just very poor health at the moment. It just says angel plant on the pot.

Could someone please help me figure out what kind of begonia I am? Just a little baby! Got it from a cutting from someone and they were not sure either.

Hi. Iâm wondering if someone can help me figure out how to better support my polka dot begonia. Itâs very happy, but very top-heavy. Right now Iâm supporting it with metal stakes and Velcro ties but that doesnât seem to be enough. I know I need to repot it too.

My beautiful baby Umeđ„čđ„°
Sheâs my first & only Rex Begonia Iâve ever had!
She is pretty new to me. Iâve only had her for just under 2 weeks. Her pot is a bit big for her & her soil is only filled half way up. (I jumped the gun & repotted her as soon as I brought her home before knowing better, oops.) Iâm thinking after a few weeks, Iâll momentarily take her out of this pot to put more soil at the bottom, then put her back on top.
She has been a bit droopy; less droopy than she was right after repotting, but still. Sheâs in an east-facing window & her leaves face the sun. I just turn her 180 for pictures & then turn her back after. With what I previously stated in mind about her pot, location relative to the sun & such, is this drooping normal? Is it something Iâll just have to deal with until I add more soil later?
I strongly welcome any tips & suggestions!
Thank you for reading! đ«¶đ»

Anyone else water their begonias from the bottom when it is watering time? Is there any benefit to this or am I just weird?

Planta keeps saying polka dot⊠obviously Iâm a bit sceptical. Can someone please tell me what kind of Rex this is so I can put a label in my plant collection? I see no spots and it is metallic silver with one metallic pink leaf

When I first got my begonia, I didn't think it was going to go too well. But look at this beauty growing! đ

Planties! My friend just bought this begonia in Austin, and we were curious on what kind it is. Any ideas?
