HELP😩

My begonia cracklin Rosie broke and I’ve never propagated a begonia before, is this savable?? Can I mend her broken stem?? There are tons of growth points on the broken part but I don’t know where to propagate!

you can definitely save the broken stem!! just plop it in water as is and it should put out roots over the next few weeks. they root from all over the stem so it doesn’t matter if a “node” is in the water or not. you’ll see roots come out everywhere! good luck (:

This literally just happened to me 2 weeks ago. I put in water and (2 weeks now) finally starting to grow out, so be very patient
