As for the "sickness" you describe above---many of us suffer the same malady. IF one is a gardener on your level--this contagious thing, called "propagationitis" is incurable... BUT--BUT.....we all know--that next year will ALWAYS be better--until next year comes.... 1--Here is what my BIG Angel Wing begonia ended up looking like this summer. 2--This is where it will spend the winter--in my spare BR. Most of the leaves will drop-- then, by spring, I will cut her back and re-pot her in fresh soil--and root the tops. I have been doing this routine for over 25 years with this same plant. 3--My Beefsteak Begonia did super well outside this summer. I have had this one forever as well.....I have a smaller one coming along nicely. 4--Playing around....trying to propagate one of the big leaves by this method. I think---there is not enough contact of the vein-cuts of the leaf and the soil. Need to pin it down with toothpicks???? Your opinion, please! Thanks, Gita Gita Gita |
