i was given a propagation of my friend’s rex begonia. she’s been in water for about five days, and i’m starting to wonder when she’ll grow roots. i’ve included a picture of what i thought was the start of a root, but now i’m not sure. i’m keeping her in a dome to up the humidity, will that make her root faster? she’s in an east facing window that gets about 4-6 hours of sunlight per day.
Roots should be coming in soon, for my propagation it took abt a week just for a little tiny root to start
1 likeTry using water other than tap water? I’ve heard that filtered water is better than tap for growing roots quickly.

I use liqui-dirt for my propagations, and I throw a pothos (they give off rooting hormones) cutting in with just about everything. They have both worked very well for me.

Thank you for that information!
0 likes Hurry up and get one! They’re ALWAYS at nurseries. Super cheap. You can grab a small one, I’ve seen them for under $10 sometimes… and then you can fill out that pot, just by using it to make other propagations. Promise, it’s money we’ll spent.
