Grow, Propagate & Prune 'DRAGON WING' BEGONIA - An Angel Wing Begonia Hybrid 

One of the best videos on dragon wing begonias. The explanations are clear, and close-ups are helpful.

I’m sure a wholesale grower doesn’t want to hear this. But I have been growing dragon wings for at least 5 years all from cuttings from 3 original hanging baskets purchased 5 years ago. I prune heavily just before the first frost and all the pruned stems get propagated. I winter over plants in baskets in my basement under fluorescent light and put them out again in the spring. I have over 30 plants now all going strong, and a few nursery trays full of newly propagated babies. When I prune in the summer, the pruned tip always goes back in the same pot to propagate which helps make the overall plant much fuller and bushy.

I love dragonwing begonias, I have been growing them for about 10 years, but I have never propagated them. So I look forward to trying what you just showed us. Thank you and I love your channel. You really explain things well.

I enjoy how you teach on plants. Especially the questions you ask. I love my Dragon Wing Begonia

Love it! I have an angel wing that is probably my fav out of all my plants. It’s leaves are just beautiful & pink flowers mostly year round

You’re terrific! I love your enthusiasm and your personality. You were very informative from the very beginning to the end of the video. You’re the type of person one would love to sit and have a cup of coffee with and discuss plant growing.

Wonderful... So ready to watch! I love your enthusiasm and knowledge.

Thank you both the informative video!! 😊

I love my dragon wing plant. I needed to know how to propagate and cut it back. I planted three stems that I cut back. Very excited! Thanks!

Great video! Thank you! We have been overwintering these, but learned a bunch from this video.

Appreciated this video and the awesome information you provided thank you for sharing.

Just discovered your videos!!! Love some time lapse videos.

So informative especially of the cutting back at the node!! ❤ it does have an Asian look. Lovely plant and ur enthusiasm for it is great to enjoy.

I just found out I could chop them back. Best tip thanks!

Really helpful. Thanks 😊

Great video! As Fall and Winter get closer, I want to do this to my Dragon Wing Begonias so I can plant them again next year!

I never did it that way always had stuck them in water to grow roots so thanks fo the tip ❤

Definitely going to try this.

Good information I love begonias thank you for the info

So glad I watched this. I was just about to trash it, even though it is still beautiful and still blooming here in Pittsburgh. So off to propagation and trying new things. Thanks so much from a new subscriber❤

Thanks so much great help. I just got a beautiful huge dragon wing begonia for Mother’s Day. Definitely needs cutting back. Looking forward to propagating too!

I grew beautiful begonias outside this year. Thanks for the info on how to cut them back. I'm going to bring them inside over the winter.

You are a good instructor. Peace

Thank you for the video ... now I know what to do with my missies 😊

I will definitely will try this propagate method

Very good videos you explain very well Thank you 😊

Great video! I always wondered where your plant obsession came from, now I know 😊

Thanks! Good info

Beautiful plants. Have a great 4th! Take care and God bless

Good morning. I have an angel wing ( underside of the leaf is burgundy). Thanks for the information. I’ll be able to better care for it now!

I came here wondering if I could successfully cut them back, and you hit the topic exactly! Thank you!

I wanna get me one of those dragon wings plants I like the red blooms.

Nice

Great job on your video! So helpful. Just bought my first pink dragon wing begonia. It goes perfect with the new planter I got for my bday. The very helpful young lady at the nursery suggested ferti*lome Cactus potting mix. Do you agree?

Thanks for another great video. I'm getting ready to repot my silver mist. Do I prune first and then repot or does it matter. Currently it has crispy leaf edges. Please let me know your thoughts.

I live in north Wisconsin and would like to winter my dragon wings they are big and beautiful could you tell me how to do that indoors for at least 5 months thank you you have a great channel

Can I replant cuttings for most plants? I like your room full of plants and thanks you

Could you explain how propagate begonia foliosa miniata?Thank you(Sorry,my English is bad)

I love growing these!! Mine are growing in the hot afternoon sun here in zone 5b, Illinois. Do you know how to overwinter them?

This was really helpful. I inherited a dragon wing that came from cutting after cutting on the original which belonged to my great-great-grandmother. No pressure. My questions are 1) how do I get mine to flower? I haven't ever fertilized it, nor have I put it outside, and it has never bloomed. Would either/both/neither help? And 2) my mom's has a couple of dead canes I would like to extricate without hurting the plant. She passed a year ago, so I want to be very careful with hers. Help?

There will be frost outside soon. Can I just trim back my plant (removing all the flowers) and hang it indoors through the winter?

❤

Can I propagate my cane begonia in Sept its getting tall or should I wait until the end of winter? Keep up the good work😎

One of my begonias have like a rust around the outer edge of the leaf. What is causing this? I’ve never had it happen before. All the other plants are beautiful. I live in zone 7b

Could you also explain or talk about your lighting

Hi there. I brought my dragon wing begonia inside in the fall. It is VERY leggy right now. Should I cut it back now or wait till closer to spring? I’m in Ontario Canada…zone 5

Thankyou, now I know how to prune my leggy begonia, and propagate those cuttings...buy why isn't mine blooming more?

I bought some begonias a couple years ago I’m going to try your method I’ll let you know what happens still trying to get used to your short hair😊❤

Thank you, you encouraged me to cut back my dragon wings.

I just bought one of these & most of the leaves are pink but new leaves are green.

I appreciated the video and the enthusiasm. We have been planting them for years. I do think that you might just have a preference that is missing the plot. The plants are supposed to be top heavy. That is the way they have been hybridized to clump. I think you've lost the whole charm of the plant by forcing it to be something it's not. That said. Everybody likes what they like.

"Samantha is going to Kill me!" "No she is not, I am going to clean up before she gets home" (and finds out, UNTIL she sees the video, that is)

look like you are trying to grow stumps and not flowers.

Close up pics would be nice. May be later in the vid ? ,but SO MUCH BLAH BLAH BLAH..... I moved on.....
