Cuttings |
|
In July 2005 I attended Bellcross Nurseries Open Day.
Among the demonstrations was one for taking begonia cuttings.
Their method is demonstrated below. |
|
1.
The Cutting.
. |
2.
There is a small eye in the base
of the 'V'. |
3.
The leaf before it is rounded off with
a sharp knife into a
smaller leaf. |
|
4.
The rounded off leaf
and the eye in the leaf axle.
. |
5.
The stem stub is trimmed to a flat base and inserted
into the growing medium.
. |
6.
Waste not, want not. The side cutting from the
former is treated the same way and used as a cutting. |
|
7.
Cuttings rooting in a tray. |
