How to Grow and Care of Begonia Rex. Indoor CARE Guide/Propagation from a Part of a Leave

Hi! In this video I want to give answers on more frequently asked question: How not to kill Begonias, Begonia Rex...How to care of it Properly and How to Multiply/Propagate you favorite Type of Begonia from just a small Part of a Leave

[@PedroLuis-yp9ed]

For the life of me I could not get this cutting I got from the Botanical Garden to survive. It barely grew in water and instantly rotten putting in soil. I finally tried this with the last leaf I had and after 2+ months I have little babies growing from each leaf piece. Totally mind blown this worked. Now need to build a humidity dome and transfer each plant to its own pot. Might try just one to test and hope it doesn't die.

Nice informative video! It really helped me to see closeup the technique of trimming the leaves for propagation. I have that last one. I found out it’s called Fedor. Very lovely! 💞

[@XellyOjeda]

Very well done! Thank you for being very specific, I learned a lot from it.

Hello, your video is very useful but I really don't know what to do with my begonia rex....I'm so sad. Once received, after a few days, the plant started to die...I divided the plant in two because I checked the roots. They looked safe. Since then some new leaves are growing but generally the two plants don't seem to be well. Water as much as they require (I hope). Light ok (until now indoor, but now I moved them outdoor in a shadowed area). How can I solve the problem?

I think my soil mix (I add worm castings and a crushed lobster/crab shell mix) maybe the reason for my first begonia disaster. Im trying again today. Do you make your own soil?

[@rickeybushrod4471]

My begonia is dying and I dont know why i didnt repot yet cause I wanted them to grow more. Help

[@lalsonsuantak9419]

[@daym8]

Highly informative video Thank you! If I may ask why to begonias develop those cuts in them as. If someone has pinched the leaves with their nails. I have it on my green begonia.

Thanks for sharing. I just brought one tonight.So excited to have her.When should I repot her she in 4 inch pot? Thanks

[@ijustwanttosleeepp]

since you just got her definitely wait to repot! repotting causes stress for the plants and they likely are already stressed from travel and new conditions. I recommend keeping them in their nursery pots for at least a few weeks until they can get acclimated to a new environment. and you really only need to repot them if they need more space or if the pot they're in isn't the best, as far as I know

[@celestialhattie]

I dont own this plant, but i learned that you should only repot if the plant is root bound. So when the plants roots start pipping out of the holes under the pot, its ready for repotting😊

Yes you can

[@aldaamaral8121]

My experiência , Rex begonias love dark places, almost no water and a lot of moist

[@mathi7982]

Hi, Edge of my begonia leaves are turning brown. Is it because of temperature or not enough humidity?

[@HomeGardening]

Hi! It can be because of overwatering, as a result you have root rot. You have to check roots

[@mathi7982]

@@HomeGardening thank you. Are you in insta? I will send the pictures. Can you check and let me know?

[@WeaMazeika]

Hi! I just got my first rex begonia about a week ago. When I got it, some of its stems and leaves were already not looking healthy. Now more and more are wilting. I have watered it twice since I got it. The leaves are also wilting but I can see new growth. May I ask what could the reason be?

[@amarebell4378]

Your plant is adjusting to your home and don’t over water

[@Thezendencan]

Make sure not to water too much. Make sure it’s pretty dry before watering or they will rot.

[@luzglenyalvarado8298]

[@seemsworld8006]

Can you give the correct potting mix madam

[@kcwong4641]

Hi - I’m writing from Singapore. I tried to propagate begonia Rex thru stem cutting and leaf cutting as you demonstrated. I planted the cut leaves into individual cups like you do and water them before placing them at bright and airy corner at the car porch away from direct sun. However after a few days the planted leaves turn black and died. What can be the reason?

[@HomeGardening]

Hello! Probably overwatering

[@susanpratt4061]

I like the flowers. They are not insignificant. 🙂

[@kona702]

Gorgeous! My Rexy died, and I am propagating some from a few of the leaves from the old plant. Some I cut up and put in soil, and two I just put in a cup of water. All are sprouting now, so hopefully they will end up growing into a nice full plant again. I know it will take a long time, but I'm hoping it works out into a healthy adult plant like yours. I have four or five little plantlets currently

[@HomeGardening]

Wish you luck! I hope you will grow nice plants

It most likely is not getting enough humidity. They dry out and get crispy if it’s dry in your home.
