I love perennial Begonias. The colors and leaf formations are delightful and the surprise little blooms that pop up on long stems are lyrical. However, they can be pricey, especially if you are buying them in the spring on top of all your other spring garden store purchases. A wonderful gardening trick is to make plants with plants, by propagating from what stock you already have you can increase your collection. Check out my post to learn how to propogate begonias at http://ahealthylifeforme.com/2013/08/01/propagating-begonias/
Using the plants you already have to make more.
Take your begonia leaf and cut with a clean pair of scissors or shears.
Place cut side of leaf into damp mix till it’s about 1/2″ deep and the cut side is completely in contact with the potting mix
