So my angel wing begonias are about 5 ft tall and there healthy and beautiful and some started flowering again but there taking over my apartment and I've propergated multiple times and gave some to friends but there so full and large. I also have it in a beer metal pot with handles I had to get creative I couldn't find an affordable large pot and the handles come in handy. I have bamboo stacks as support but its so heavy and when I water it the souls so loose what should I do to give it proper support? Or should I just cut more off and have more babies.

[@Monika-jb3qs]

Do you think its fine to add a propogated begonia stem to the same pot as the original plant, since they can grow fine as multiple stems in a small pot, and I prefer the bushy look as you call it? Thanks!

[@Bbycks1]

I just received a rooted cutting of the polka dot begonia and placed it in soil and sat it near a grow light. I noticed the plant looks droopy! I assume it's going to take a few days to get used to the pot. Can you tell me if this is normal?

[@peraknezevic]

Pruning to get bushier plant doesn't work for my Begonia. It keeps growing in height, I must've cut her on the same spot 3 or 4 times now. I got a bushier plant by planting the rooted cutting next to their parent plant, but the parent plant just continues to grow on the same spot I cut it.

[@betsybegonia]

I think that's a wonderful tip as well! Thank you for sharing. I'm pinning your comment.

[@Veronica-fc9td]

Same I have a spindly angel wing begonia

[@kathleenmurphy2379]

Sometimes you have to be aware of where you make your cut because the cut if on the inside of the plant it will grow a branch growing inside to the plant and if you make a cut above Leaf it's pointing to the outside of your plant that's where that branch is going to grow. I learned this when I learned how to prune my Apple trees and holly bushes you can pick out where the branch is going to shoot out from the main stem. And it's true you need to have multiple stems in a pot to have a bushy plant one stem especially with some types of angel wing begonias you're never going to get a bushy plant

Can u propagate begonia wightii by a leaf cutting with no node just 1cm stem ?

[@betsybegonia]

I haven't tried it myself yet but you could try the Begonia leaf propagation method. If you Google it you'll find a bunch of tutorials.

[@thegreatcatehistory]

I absolutely love this plant and I want to get one. I'm a little worried about growing it in South East Texas (close to Houston) because you said it has to have high humidity. Any tips other than buying a humidifier (that's already on my shopping list!) and how do you know if the one you're buying is healthy and strong? I'd basically do anything for this plant lol but I'm very much a beginner... so ANY advice is welcome! (Ps I did already watch the cane begonia video) PPS: if anyone knows where to get one near Houston-College Station Texas I'd love to know! Thanks!

[@betsybegonia]

You could also try a pebble tray. Basically, get a platter of pebbles/Hydroton, fill it with water (I used distilled water because tap water leaves behind a white mineral residue as it dries), put the plant on top of the pebble tray but keep it on a saucer so that the holes at the bottom of the plant pot are not in direct contact with the pebbles/water or the soil will soak it up and become saturated all the time. Basically if the plant looks very vibrant, it's healthy. Mine was not looking very healthy when I got it. It was a faded green color because it was in the basement of a hardware store. After 2 weeks in an east-facing window with some sun in the morning it really came back to life and the color popped!

[@thegreatcatehistory]

Betsy Begonia thank you so so so much! That really means a lot and helps! I've been meaning to comment asking if you could do a video on lighting too and what the different light means? Like indirect, direct etc.

[@squishyobi2799]

I just got a begonia maculata wightii, it came by post bare rooted. Are they as sensitive to water on their leaves as rex begonias? I have several other cane begonias and they are doing well but overnight the maculata wightii leaves have curled and wrinkled and look sort of soggy. Could it be they were just already wilted from the journey in a box or could the shower I gave her have rotted the leaves?

[@ashhanderson]

Holy fucking shit that thing is massive! WOW!!! I love your personality, you totally make me smile! Keep up the great work Betsy!!

[@DaysFlyBy007]

Did the cuttings you put in the salsa jar actually root?? I just chopped my beautiful beloved maculata and now I have two cuttings in water and I'm not gonna lie I kinda feel like I might vomit I'm so anxious about it...and I don't have any wine so I'm just stuck here over thinking what I've done...😰

[@betsybegonia]

Oh yeah they rooted in about a week. After 2 weeks I potted them back in with the original Begonia. Hoping they'll fill out soon because it lost some leaves during my move and it's looking pretty scraggly.

[@kathleenmurphy2379]

I bet by now you have roots! I have rarely rarely lost a begonia cutting that I put in water. Unless I cut one that was a fairly new stem and there was a lot of room between each leaf. It's better to take a cutting where the leaf nodes are close together. And I think Betsy took one of each one off of the new shoes that was kind of leggy and one off of one of her older

I've heard contradicting things about rooting cuttings in water. Can they root from the bottom of the stem? Or is it essential to have a node under water to root from? In my past experience, the stems have just rotted and the plant died.

[@betsybegonia]

With cane type Begonia, you need to submerge a node.

Is Ocean Forest Potting Spoil mix by Fox Farms ok to use for repotting my angling begonia?

I am unfamiliar with that brand and type.

[@melamelaga]

@@betsybegonia thank you for the reply! Did you use the potting mix on your amazon list? I'm so afraid of transferring mine but I got it yesterday and the nursery pot it came in is still drenched and I saw a gnat so I need to repot ASAP and am trying to figure out best potting soil/mix for it.

[@betsybegonia]

@@melamelaga To be honest, I have picked specific suggestions from the US Amazon store based on the reviews of others or the experiences shared by others in blogs, on KZbin, on IG, etc. But as for me, I buy whatever is cheapest and most highly reviewed on Amazon when I need mix. The brands that are accessible here to me in France are different from those in the US. So when it comes, I just mix it with perlite/orchid bark/whatever else in order to make it specific to whatever plant I'm potting.

Is it normal for leaves to fall off when they look just fine and not dry?? Mine loses a leaf about once a week. :(

Hiya, question for you or anybody who sees this question and knows the answer. Can you propagate this plant from a leaf cutting and the stem of the leaf with no node? I had purchased a cutting from someone and they sent me a leaf with the stem of the leaf but no node.

[@michalp588]

When you root the cuttings in water do you cover it with one of the bell jars? Or leave it out? I got cuttings from a friend and I dipped in rooting hormone and put in dirt with a zip lock bag over them and they wilted!

[@julianajb]

I heard that you shouldn't wet this begonia leaves? So I got confused when you said that you'd give it a bath.

[@betsybegonia]

You can absolutely wet Begonia leaves. In fact, top-watering can prevent powder mildew spores from germinating if they land on Begonia leaves. But you don't want standing water on them for long periods of time. With B. maculata 'Wightii' it's not a problem, the water slicks right off and doesn't pool in the leaves.

[@julianajb]

@@betsybegonia Weird! In this link plantophiles.com/plant-care/begonia-maculata says: "The leaves and stems should never get wet. While the Begonia Maculata is not as sensitive as other indoor plants like the African Violets, it is highly susceptible to damage if it gets wet." But good to know! Thanks! :)

Hi Betsy! I finally got a cane begonia (they're still hard to find in the states). I have it in a east facing window, keep the well-draining soil lightly damp, small pot for the root system and my home is about 65-80% humidity. My plant is dropping leaves from the stem. Just two about a week apart so far. They aren't browning or wilting first. Aren't squishy. Just kind of jumping ship. I'm very confused and was curious if you'd run into this as care info for this specific begonia is pretty scarce. Thank you so much in advance for your time if you respond!!

[@kathleenmurphy2379]

Begonias like most plants do their growth spurts in the spring and the summer and in the winter they're kind of dormant. So that's probably why yours took so long to root it was still dormant because it was winter. Most plants don't like to be fertilized during the winter because they aren't growing and can't use the fertilizer.
