I would like to propagate my butterfly begonia. I noticed that some rhizomes are shooting out on top of the soil. They do not have roots. What do I do? Do I just cut them into bits and pot them up or should they have roots on them?
thank you
Anna
rhizome propagation???
Anna, if the rhizo's are large enough, you can take a cutting and lay it in the soil. about half submerged (see the photo of the middle cut) or poke the cutting into the soil like a stem, (see the cut on the right of the red line) you can tent them in plastic for a few weeks or not. They'll root in no time.
that helps a lot Laurie!
thank you very much.
