The survival rate of Begonia is higher from May to June. The temperature in winter is low, so it is not suitable to survive after cutting. The high temperature in summer will cause the bottom to rot and the survival rate is very low. General temperature between 15 - 30 ℃, can be cuttage
The plants with strong growth and no pests were selected. Cut a 10-15 cm branch with 3-4 leaf nodes. Dry the white slurry from the incision, and then apply the plant ash. Put it in a cool place for 2 - 3 days, the cut can be used for cutting after drying.
The requirement of iron Begonia for matrix is not high. Just use river sand or peat soil. After it takes root, it can be replaced with new soil. It can also be directly used as nutrient soil, which is more conducive to rooting and germination. It should be noted that the substrate should not be sand or sea sand in the saline alkali area, which is not conducive to its growth.
After the pot soil is prepared, cutting can be carried out. Then poke a hole on the surface of the basin soil, with a depth of about 5cm. Insert the bottom end of the cuttings into the hole, and pour water to the cool place. After that, pay attention to water control, wait until the basin soil is slightly dry before pouring. 50-60 days or so will take root.
