What are the propagation methods for herbaceous begonia flowers?

Begonia flowers are very beautiful and well suited for ornamental viewing. There are also many varieties. Today I will introduce the propagation methods for herbaceous begonia flowers.

1. Division propagation of herbaceous begonia flowers

Perennial old herbaceous begonia plants can be divided, and pruning can be carried out at the same time to encourage new side branches, so as to form a well-shaped plant, but for division only the first to second generation mother plants of seedling-propagated plants can be selected.

2. Cutting propagation of herbaceous begonia flowers

Insert the cuttings into a sand pot at a plant-to-row spacing of 3 cm × 4 cm. Do not water within 2 days after inserting. On the 5th day, spray-water with water at about the same temperature as the sand, until water is seen flowing out from the bottom of the pot. Place in a shady spot. In about 10 days, roots 3~4 cm long can grow. At this time, place the pot in the sun and water according to the weather conditions. After 6~7 days, they can be potted and planted.

3. Seed propagation of herbaceous begonia flowers

The sowing time is preferably April to May and late August to September. Sow with seeds collected in the same year. Mix the seeds with fine garden soil and evenly broadcast them on the surface of the pot. Cover with glass to keep in moisture, place in a cool, ventilated spot, and they will sprout in a week.

Herbaceous begonia flowers have diverse propagation methods, and they are also relatively simple, making them suitable for people to grow as potted plants at home.
