Hi! I’m wanting to propagate the blue outlined part of miss polka and haven’t ever tried with a begonia before. Am wondering if just cutting along that section of stem works??

Also included a photo of how gorgeous she is!!😁🤭

It looks like it has several nodes, so yeah cutting low on that stem should do. Remember to sterilize your cutters

Awesome, thank you!! :)

Hi there, these grow roots unbelievably easily! I’ve had 100% success rate with every stem I’ve ever carelessly chopped off and put into water, they’ve never been fussy. Hope you get a lovely new plant baby from your cutting :)

Thats amazing to hear!! I’m excited to get her going🤭

Good luck! Hope you get lots of plant babies from your mother plant :) 🪴
