Rex Begonia - Propagation & Water Culture!

Rex Begonias are beautiful, stunning foliage plants. Here’s how I propagate them and grow in full water culture! :-)

I stumbled upon this video in my endeavor to fix my Red Bull Rex Begonia. I recently bought her from a nursery but she has a bad mealy bug infestation. Ive tried just about everything to get rid of them, but the plant is so lucious with leaves, i cant get to all of them.

Today, im going to take cuttings and clean them off, then attempt every method i can find to prop these guys. Im going to try every method that you mentioned in this video, but im very excited to try this one. The cut vein method seems very hit or miss and so does the rolling method. I dont have any greenhouse climate areas in my house, so relying on humidity propagating wont work for me. BUT water props have been so successful. Ill come back with results in a few months 😊😊

My Rex suffered damage from the cold (not freezing). It is huge! About 3or 4 years old. Thank you for this!

I have 5 of the begonia leaves propagated in water culture, having new leaves growing from the centers. This is the first success that I have so far.

Thank you for explaining and showing your propagations! Super helpful

Thank you for making this video! I was given some cuttings from a customer as a tip and I didn’t know what to do with them. Other methods looked time consuming. Yours looks easy and right up my alley.

I messed that up. Just got first ever begonia leaves, amber and Cleopatra, and you ha e stopped my poor brain from boiling o er. I love water propagation but could only find rhizome instructions. I now have to go back through your videos to find out what else I can plonk into water to fill my obsession.!🐝

I have a Rex begonia macarena that sprouted a leaf on top as well as rooted on the bottom from water propagation! I'd love to show you a pic of it! And I love your begonias and your specific style of growing them! It's great!

Awesome! I have a brand new addiction.

Wow, I had no idea this could be done so easily with Begonias so thank you! I love water propagating but for the oxygen I always drop a round air stone into the bottom to run an air pump with and it makes all those millions of tiny tiny bubbles like in a fish tank, giving the roots and the plant plenty of oxygen in the water and it also I think it helps boost and speed up the routing process as well. You might want to try that out just a thought. 😁
