How Lighting Affects Rex Begonia Propagation

Here’s a little experiment to show the affects of light intensity on Rex Begonia propagation. It really is important!

Wow! that explains a lot. Now I know why my leaves have been dying around the edges while waiting for roots to appear. Thanks for the explanation, I’ll be moving all the leaves under the light asap.

I’m finding that the lighting does make a difference. Thanks for the video.

I am so glad I’ve found your videos! I love love Rex for years but I can’t keep them alive 🥹 I’m so excited to try these prop and growing methods!

My rex was wilting.. I simply put it under oven light overnight and it's standing again. So beautiful. I'm afraid to move it from he stove lol

how many hours of light do you give your propagations per day? thanks for another great video!

May I ask if you've ever had success with the Escargot in the yarn or LECA?

But you do put them in soil when rooted? I am new at this .I am not doing very well but I keep doing research and try different ways. The materials you use I never heard of is there more info on this method could you explain a bit more for me pls. 😊

Could you tell me what LED light levels are correct to improve the color of the leaves? footcandles ppfd hours per day? etc..I have read but there are many different opinions. thank you.

i have 3 rex begonia cuttngs rn, 2 arent sprouting much new growth but the roots look really healthy, the other has more new leaves/bigger growth but the roots kinda have a brown tint to them especially towards the ends, idk if thats normal or if i have root rot but im confused cuz it seems to be doing the best
