How to propagate Begonia

1. Division method

It is usually carried out in early spring or autumn and winter. First, the sprouting suckers should be dug out and divided into several individual plants with scissors. After separation, plant them separately, water them sufficiently, and take appropriate shading measures.

2. Seeding method

Before this method is carried out, low temperature stratification treatment should be done. If this step is omitted, it will be difficult to germinate after planting. Alternatively, after harvesting the fruits, you can sow them after a little drying to allow the seeds to ripen naturally, cover them with a layer of soil, and then cover them with a film to keep them moist. After the seedlings grow out, remove the film and finally apply a layer of fertilizer and soil.

3. Grafting method

Seedlings grown from sowing can be used as rootstocks, and the scion should be a sufficiently mature branch with at least 2 buds in the middle. You can use branch grafting or bud grafting. Bud grafting is usually done using the T-shaped grafting method, and it will take about 10 days to tell whether the plant has survived.
