# Brought home this stunning begonia clipping yesterday and I’m…

_Posted by Jack on 2024-12-11_

Brought home this stunning begonia clipping yesterday and I’m obsessed. Lots of good baby roots but I’m guessing three weeks or so before it can be potted. Any input as far as growing medium/container? The grower recommended Leca.

Leca is good, I would start with just a nursery pot , see though is best to see the status of the roots and make sure you have drainage !!

These are one of my absolute favorite plants! I find mine to enjoy bright indirect sunlight. ☀️

My begonia clipping is THRIVING in leca! It’s pushing out a new leaf every 10 days or so!
