Begonia (Rex Cultorum Group) 'Escargot' syn. Begonia rex 'Escargot'

This is my tiny begonia, grown from a leaf of my huge plant. It’s growing well

I really must give the rooting in water method another try. A job for this morning as it’s currently raining! 👍

Same here Barbara! Will need to water all my houseplants as we are going away for a week early Monday @jacaranda

I hope you’re going somewhere warm and dry, Joan! 🤞🤞

Sadly not Barbara🙈 going to Paris then cruising to Normandy. Forecast is awful but we will be well looked after on the boat @jacaranda

It will be a change of scene and you won’t have to cook or clean for a while, Joan! Have a wonderful time 😘

Thanks Barbara I’m sure we will ❤️ @jacaranda

Morning all, I rooted a leaf from my large begonia in water, then potted it up. A few weeks later, new leaves are appearing in the pot! I’ve now cut off the original leaf to let the new leaves get some light 🤞

I rooted a leaf in water a while ago but I was too quick to pot it up and it didn’t survive 😢

Always worth another try Barbara @jacaranda

You’re right 👍

This has also rooted in water #newplant

That's cool, I love begonias.

Some flowers have managed to reach the surface on my large begonia. Usually they just flower underneath the leaves

They are lovely leaves

Peek a boo!

@joanboston thank you Joan will look better hopefully when on door, pouring down here so it will have to wait. 🥰

#foliagefriday morning! I’m holding this begonia to give some scale to the size of this amazing plant 😂#

Wow 😮

Wow 😯 massive 🤣

It's making a bid for world domination Joan 💚💚💚

Oh wow Joan .. that’s mahoosive 🤩

It’s huge, does it have a table all to itself 😀👍🏼🤔. I’ve just looked back at pics of it Joan, it’s grown so much!

Fantastic, is that the one your son bought for you?

Wow! I have one of these but it only have a few leaves and is tiny! Any tips!!!

No it’s one of a trio of plants we bought about three years ago @Auricula and it shares a big table with a couple of other plants @sieveheadsarah

WOW!! THAT'S INCREDIBLE!! You must be the begonia whisperer! 💘😍

That is BIG

The sun catching the leaves on the begonia tonight

Glorious👌🏻

Love the way that looks! 💘😍

This plant is huge! #foliagefriday each leaf is as big as my hand

It’s brilliant Joan, and a super name🐌

Lovely markings looks so healthy 🤗

One of my favorite rex's! 💘😍

I’ve managed to grow another plant from a leaf!

A handsome baby☺️

Congratulations! A lovely little baby! #leaf-propagation

Took a leaf from my beautiful plant and have managed to grow a new plant. Very happy!

Gotta try this with mine too

A furry bundle of joy☺️

@hebelover I put the leaf in water first and it produced some roots. I then put it in compost up to the base of the leaf. It had been about 3 months for new growth to appear but worth the wait Jason

While watering my enormous begonia today I spotted some flowers under the leaves so have managed to manoeuvre them into the light!

Pretty 💕

@joanboston thank you Joan for your comment 🙏

A hand to show size #indoorplants

#interestingfoliage #begoniasaurusrex

I love this one! Outstanding in shape and color!💘😍

The photo doesn’t do it justice, the leaves are six inches long #indoorplants

Morning all, this house plant is now a foot wide!

Morning Joan 👋

Morning Jane😀
