Trying a new way to start some of my begonias. Saw a video on a plant sight and thought I would try it. Wish me luck. I put a lid on them for humidity. 🤞

Oohhh from the petiole stem???

#### Stephanie replied on 2025-02-13

Yes my plant was very tall with very few leaves

#### Stephanie replied on 2025-02-13

Sorry misunderstood. There is a node on all of them

#### Wolfen 🐺 replied on 2025-02-13

So interesting! I've only ever done it from leaf. Though I know a few have other propagation options

#### Wolfen 🐺 replied on 2025-02-13

Would you mind sharing the vid you saw? I wanna try

#### Stephanie replied on 2025-02-13

I just Google how to propagated begonias and there was a video from a man in Seattle ( I think) and he just cut and stuffed them in his dirt from his yard and he had some of the best looking ones I ever saw. I will try to see if I can find it again for you.

Will love too see the progress!

#### Stephanie replied on 2025-02-13

I will update you when I see anything. I did this 4 different ways. 1. In water. 2. In soil with a covered container 3. In soil with no container 4. With a leaf in a container. Will let you all know what did best and how it went.
