Begonias in Wick Medium - Leaf Propagation

This is the timeline of my begonia experiment with mop wick with leaf propagation.

I had notice that the hardy ones then to grow really well compared to the sensitive ones.

Here, you will notice the growth of the Begonia Rex dormant Rhizome
and how it had stabilize and grown to maturity.

Unlike in the basket,
this one is placed on a cement brick with a slab resting above the water container with the mop wick extended inside it.

Notice the leaves tend to grow bigger at every new sprout.

I had never seen such stable progress with Rex Begonias grown in soil medium as this.
Normally, I face them going dormant or dead.

The set back is they are sensitive to disturbance.

I had once had a trouble when a rodent disturbed this mop wick set up and the plant showed sign of distress. Some of the growing foliage were knocked off
and did not recover even though the roots were fully formed.

So it is important that they must be placed in a location that nothing disturbs their growth progress.
