So weâre on a weekend getaway & just finished dinner- When the owner of the restaurant noticed me admiring their giant Polka Dot Begonia & offered me a cutting⌠Which of course I accepted! đ He stated itâs been in family for over 100 years!!!! (I didnât get a photo of the parent Polka Dot- I was so excited that he offered me a cutting!!!)
We need more people like him in the world. What a cool story!!

Should I put cuttings in water or immediately in soil?

I root mine in rain water, in a clear glass vase, set in front of a morning sun window. It takes a bit for roots to grow but they will! â¤ď¸
1 Like Spent today learning how to propagate, I have a batch of chasta trees and pine trees I had to prune. While I was pruning, I Decided to preserve the trees this winter and started putting them one node below soil, ground and water. Sounds simple , but takes a lot of care so far/water.

i recommend you let it callus if it hasnât, and place in water until it roots.

Personally Iâd put it directly into soil/potting mix. It also looks like have enough for 2-4 cuttings there. Might be a good idea so itâs not trying to support quite so many leaves without roots
