Propagate Begonia Stem Cuttings in water - Cane-like Angel Wing Begonia
Propagating by stem cuttings is just about the easiest way to make more begonias for next summer's garden. During the fall, I regularly trim off 3-node long cuttings and put them into the growing pots where they take root. Now that cold weather has arrived, I root the stem cuttings in a vase of water. It's a great way to produce more pots of Begonias for next summer's garden. Water the plant well the day before. Take a cutting about 4-inches long, with 3 nodes, from a healthy stem. Use a perfectly clean container. Rinse the container with a drop of bleach if you are uncertain about its spotlessness. Remove all but the top leaf or two. There should be no leaves in the water. The cutting should have a healthy leaf node at the bottom. Don't leave a stub below the node. Place the cutting into the water, and place the container out of the sun. In a couple of weeks, you will see new roots beginning to form. Check the water periodicall...

Isn't it a wonder?
Did you get to visit the Japanese garden in Fort Worth Texas? It is wonderful. So is the one in St. Louis and of course San Francisco.
Would love to hear from you - which ones did you visit and which were the best?
Hakone Gardens in California is my favourite even though it's quite small, I've been there three times now - I go every time I visit the States! I've been to the Japanese Tea Garden too once, that was beautiful.
