# As I was repotting, I accidentally broke of the branches, it’s still…

As I was repotting, I accidentally broke of the branches, it’s still sort of attached but I taped it for now. Is that the right thing to do? Also do I water my plant after repot?

It might work… but if the stem above the break starts to wither, you can try to water prop it instead. I water my plants after repotting, especially if my soil mix is dry

Thank you!

I would just stick it in the water and propagate. I have this type of begonia, and I propagate prolifically and all the time.
