I have been so focused on other plants, I am at a loss for propagating angel wing begonias. Like...it all just flew out of my head. I want to strike some for our Master Gardener sale...and....
What is the best way to do it? New growth? Old growth? Water? Media? It can't be Rocket Science but I am at a loss....
TIA

I love the angel wing begonias, what do yours look like? Here's one of my favorites.

OH...thank you Heather. Just what the gardener needed.
I have a couple of Angel Wings: my favorite has large white polkadots! Here they grow into huge plants in the full sun! And the flowers are edible (so say some).
Thanks again!

Glad to help! I bet they do get pretty big there with all that beautiful weather! I'd love to be able to keep mine outside all year long.
And I know that link suggests a couple different methods, but what I usually do is just stick the cutting in water until it roots and have had pretty good success with that. Good luck with yours! Since you're taking cuttings, does that mean you might have some to trade with at some point? *hint hint* :-)
