Propagating Begonia’s

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. 

Place begonia cuttings in water before dipping in rooting agent

Close up of cutting

 

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.

Tuesday is Flower Day

 

I recently enjoyed a post from Pauline over at  Gypsy Life   who had joined in a Blog share  over at Angle and Views  to share a Flower a week  on a  weekly series called Flowers Over Flowers   every Tuesday  with   nalinki.  

View while on vacation from Schafberg Mountain Austria part of Flowers over Flowers #flowersoverflowers

So I thought to join in..  So my Flower picture for today is of a meadow on the mountain of Schafberg in Austria..  After a wonderful ride on the Mountain railway to the top which has run  since 1893.  I took this picture of the Lake  through the meadow flowers from the top of Mount Schafberg.

Wishing you all a week full of colour and love

Happy Gardening
