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
좋아요 1개Try 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!
