did you know you can grow endless
begonias from just one leaf
let me show you how
start with a healthy begonia
and cut off one mature leaf
trim the stem so about 2 cm remain
then cut the leaf into several small
sections
that's all the preparation you need
next
grab any container with a lid
make a few small holes for air flow to
prevent mold
fill it with a well draining
rooting medium like peat moss
perlite
Peat soil
red clay soil
small red stone
vermiculite or sphagnum moss
any of these will work because begonias
are incredibly easy to propagate
insert the leaf pieces into the medium
then water thoroughly until excess
water drains out
don't leave the soil soaking wet
close the lid and place the container
somewhere warm
bright but out of direct sunlight
over the next few weeks
keep the medium slightly moist
and let nature do the work before long
you'll start seeing tiny roots and new
begonias growing from the leaf pieces
begonias have an amazing ability to
regenerate
even small sections of a leaf can
develop into brand new plants
making this one of the easiest
propagation methods for beginners
give it a try and let me know in the
comments how many new begonias
you grow
