When is the best time to take cuttings of glass begonia? Time and method of taking cuttings

Glass Begonia cutting time

Glass Begonia can be propagated by cuttings in spring from March to May, or in autumn from August to September, because the temperature is more suitable during these two periods and Glass Begonia is in its peak growth period, which will be more conducive to the survival and rooting of branch cuttings. Cuttings can also be taken in other seasons, but the survival rate is not high.

Glass Begonia cutting method

1. Choose branches : Select a strong mother plant that has grown for 1-2 years, then cut a 10 cm long thick branch from the plant, remove the leaves on it, then use scissors to cut the branch diagonally, place it in a ventilated place, and let the cut dry.

2. Choose soil : Use fine sand, or you can mix sand and garden soil. The soil made in this way is not only loose but also rich in nutrients, which is conducive to rooting.

3. Carry out cuttings : poke a small hole in the soil with a wooden stick, and then insert the branches to two-thirds of the soil depth. Each cutting should not be too dense. Then compact the soil, water it thoroughly and set up a shade shed.
