Here you can see how large some can grow, this one is two foot tall #flowersoverflowers This Begonia is one we have had for several years and is grown from a tuba which we let go back and keep dry and frost free over winter.
Today’s post is going to cover two topics, the above flower I want to connect to #flowersoverflowers as I am a day late for the Flower Tuesday post..
I have been busy taking some Begonia cuttings from the lovely ones that have graced my front garden all summer long
Begonias and Geraniums
Some Begonia’s we have from Tubas’s but some are grown from either leaf cuttings or stem cuttings.. The above 4 were bought from a Garden Nursery, and so will die back over winter. So I thought I would take some cuttings.

Take a cutting near a leaf joint
First take a new sprouting leaf section and find the leaf joint and cut it on the leaf joint . Next place them in some water if you have more to cut before dipping into a rooting agent and pot in compost.

Begonia cuttings placed in their own prorogation ( Freezer bags) Easy, Now all we have to do is keep free from frost and in about a months time the roots will begin to form.. And take care not to over water or they may rot off.
Happy Gardening Everyone.
