Re: Begonia

Ah, I see. Well if you have one to share eventually I'd like to try one. Anything that has huge leaves is very exciting to me. ;-)

I've done both. But usually I do leaf cuttings; if I notch the leaf ribs in a few places and keep the wounds in contact with the vermiculite [I use bobby pins], I'll get a bunch of plants rather than one.

Just curious Jim, do you only do leaf cuttings on your Begonias? I've always taken stem cuttings and just stuck them in some soil. I've had about 100% success that way.

My guess is you propagate it like other begonias--whole or partial leaf cuttings. Never tried it with carolinifolia, but it worked with all other begonias that I've tried.

Once it warms up, Ceres, I'll get one of those flat, rigid boxes from
the PO and send leaves of carolinifolia, poponeii, and one or two
others to you.
Jim, I would love that but I do have carolinifolia and love the foliage. 
How do you propagate?
