Begonia cuttings should be carried out in April-May or August-September when the temperature is around 20°C. First select branches that grow normally and have 1-2 flower buds, cut them into 5-6cm long sections, and soak them in disinfected water for 20 minutes. Then insert it into the flower soil with many gaps inside, put it in a cool place, and wait for roots to take root.

If you want to take cuttings, it is best to do it in April-May, or August-September. Because the temperature during these two periods is about 20°C, it is very suitable for the growth of its cuttings. Try not to take cuttings when it is too hot in summer, because the temperature is too high at this time and it can easily go into dormancy, thus reducing the success rate.

1 . Prepare cuttings: Select branches that grow normally and have 1-2 flower buds and cut them. Then use scissors to cut it into 5-6cm long sections, and then cut the bottom end diagonally.

2. Prepare the substrate: To leave more space for its young roots to grow, it is necessary to use flower soil with more gaps inside and a relatively high particle content as the substrate. It is recommended to mix leaf humus soil and river sand to make a cutting substrate.

3. Make cuttings: Place the cuttings in disinfected water After soaking for 20 minutes, take it out to dry. Then slowly insert it into the flower soil so that about 2-3cm long part enters the soil.

4. Later maintenance: After inserting it, place it in a relatively cool place around 20°C and slowly maintain it. During this period, replenish water regularly to keep the substrate slightly moist. Soon it will be able to grow roots.
