  • The Begonia maculata wightii is a quintessential houseplant, offering a pop of color to indoor and outdoor growing spaces and teaching valuable plant care lessons for all levels of plant parents. It is also considered to be a gateway Begonia. In this episode, I rescue a sad looking plant into many healthy and happy babies by propagation. I also discuss a theory about their red undersides, and attempt to bring them back. As usual, I show satisfying updates at the end of the episode!

    I bought one of these and it kept getting pests but after many rounds of pesticide treatments and 9 months later it is finally growing. I’m in US in a very dry state and I must keep the soil moist as the leaf tips dry out. I have had very difficult time propagating these also. Water here just isn’t working so next time I will put them in dirt in a ziploc baggie

    Yay, the red is back! Hehe
    I haven't had much time to do propagations lately, so I've been a lot less nitpicky when I do get around to it. A couple months ago my cane begonias have been flopping over, so I decided to make time to propagate them. All I had a couple of minutes since I didn't want to have to put if off again, so I just mindlessly chopped them off and stuck them into the surrounding pots. They all made it. Haha

    Ive had a Maculata for the last year and a half that refuses to grow. Not dying, almost the same size as when I got it but it does have a couple splits on the leaves, and the leaves just seem to get smaller. I fetilize, and water once a week Ive tried everything I know to do, changed locations at least 5 times just to get the light conditions right. But its still in its 4 inch pot, and no root growth coming out of the bottom. Do you have any suggestions? Water propigation is my next move

    • @onlyplants
      @onlyplants  2 місяці тому +1

      I would propagate and start over. I have a feeling the root health is not so good on the one you have. Its possible that moving it around stress it out. But they propagate so well, you should have new and strong plants in no time

    My maculata was heading south rapidly. I tried to make leaf cuttings, but all died. Now it has launched a feverish spurt of growth, and I'm letting it go wherever it wants to go. It isn't a foot tall .LMAO!

      Try propagating and starting over if you can. Water propagation might be best in your case. You can spray some neem oil with soapy water in case theres existing infection.

    How funny would it be to see a Sasquatch in the tents when you opened them up all chill
    Like… would seem this site has been a cold file for a bit now. My theory is since all the visits and noise/human habituation, may have scared the subjects away from the area. Makes sense in the start of their construction of the site to have the creatures come to visit as we encroach on their territories much like deer in the new “suburbs” that may have thus pushed them out of the area. Lord know if I had a backyard like this my arse would move away from a bunch of annoying neighbors too.
