after propagation droop-RX avail?

Austin, TX(Zone 8b)

I have some begonias that I divided, I think they are probably in the rhizome family, but they are just so droopy even after 2 weeks. Any RX for them?

My experience is they usually do this. A humidity tent (dome) will help a lot. Also you may lose most or all leaves but as long as the rhizome stays plump, then it should throw some new leaves in a little while. You can usually cut the older bigger leaves and try propagating those as well since they are the first ones to drop off. Do not leave the soil soggy wet else the rhizome will start rotting which will wilt the leaves.

Oh, thanks so very much! It's in my greenhouse, so hopefully that'll do it. Thanks again! (don't want to lose my babies!)
