This week on The Horti-Culturalists we were very lucky to be able to visit Craig Wilson at Gentiana Nursery to learn all the tricks of the trade when it comes to successfully growing and propagating cane and rhizomatous Begonias! Craig's nursery is in the Dandenong Mountains an hour out of Melbourne to the East and as he says is at the very climatic edge of successful Begonia growing! His winter temperatures can get down to 1 or 2oC (33-35oF) and basically all his Begonias drop their leaves. SO in this video we'll learn the basic care for these types of Begonias, how to manage them in winter and how to take leaf and stem cuttings, and when!
Many thanks to Craig for his time and if you're interested we have a play list with the other videos we've made at Gentiana here: • GENTIANA NURSERY VISITS
