I had to do a leaf clone of this #rexbegonia before I sold the mama plant. #begonia #begonialove

What exactly is a leaf clone? Like propagating by leaf?

Yes ma’am @heatherdirtyhands I’ve done videos on how it’s done, posted on Facebook groups and Candide

This #begonia is one I grew from a single leaf last spring. It lost all but one leaf and is returning to be a stunning come late spring, early summer.

You have to love the curls of a #begonia-rex-escargot many other Rex species do the same. I have many types of these begonias and I’ve grown very fond of them. #foliagefriday

This #begoniasaurusrex is the white whale of my indoor jungle. Not going to spend that many shekels on a plant until I know I can keep it alive LOL

Yeah @emch I had the same problem with the tuber begonias until I built climate control in the green house you get below 50 percent humidity and they don’t do so well. Inside you have heating and ac and both suck out the humidity
