So we’re 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! 😊 He stated it’s been in family for over 100 years!!!! (I didn’t 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! ❤️

i recommend you let it callus if it hasn’t, and place in water until it roots.

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