Did I miss you telling us the name of this Begonia? I love it's color and think it would look lovely next to my Fedor, but with 1000s of Begonia out there, kinda hard to search for it. She's such a beauty!
Done this to so many plants after seeing you do this and every single one has suddenly died! (Joke). No, they have actually brown like CRAZY and looked SO much healthier ! Greatest tip I think I have seen! Top work!
I learned from an adorid specialist a couple weeks ago that when a Begonia has rather droopy leafs you can try adding a little bit of cactus fertilizer to the water so I tried that. My begonia is all perky now after only 3 feedings.
A very nice plant you've got there! 👌 I've had one given to me once, it had an amazing iridescent sheen on its leaves and I really enjoyed it for the 2 weeks it lived... ce la vie.
Lol the way he just kept cutting at the roots it reminded me of a scissor happy hair stylist when they say they are just going to give you a trim and half your hair is gone after 😂
Oh my goodness! That begonia is beautiful. I have very little luck with them and they are one of my favorites. I recently purchased a climbing begonia and planted it outside. So far it’s doing great. We’ll see.
Great minds thank alike. I am a firm believer in root pruning. It can really give a new lease on life for any plant. Root pruning allows you to keep reusing your favorite planter over again. Just trim down the roots instead of getting a bigger pot when it needs a repot. I had a similar situation with early stages of root rot on my hoya carnosa earlier this spring. After de-potting it for it's regular spring repot, I was assaulted with the foul smell of decay. I am was bit more drastic with mine, I took it outdoors and completely removed all the old soil and than pruned away all affected roots and afterwards sprayed it down with diluted H2O2 peroxide to zap any fungal and microbe colonies. I repotted it into a better draining aroid mix and started training it up on a moss pole. That was 3 months ago and thankfully the hoya's are thriving and loving life. 👍
I absolutely love your channel. I have learned so much from you and your videos and now (being the resident crazy plant lady) I always direct people here to subscribe when they ask me "where did you learn all this?" This video was absolutely perfect timing. My rex begonia desperately needed a chop and I felt better about attempting it once I watched this video ❤
I don't know if this applies to all plants or just trees, but I've learned to never prune roots and foliage at the same time since it stresses the plant more, and with the reduced root mass, it needs the foliage to catch the light and bring in more carbon etc to grow more roots. And if you cut the foliage, they need the roots to be able to bring up enough nutrients from the dirt to grow new ones. Just something to consider.
@@SheffieldMadePlants That's what I had heard before too. But when I started with the bonsai, I heard the other way 'round since both cuts do damage, and it's better to not deal too much damage at once, and only cut one part at a time. But I really don't know. Maybe they're both just as good? Maybe one is better if the plant's health isn't top-notch while the other works fine for stronger plants?
You are awesome, im a fellow 300 plant parent. OMG, love your begonias, so jealous. I have told so many people about you. I wish you and your family the best. 💜🥰🤗
GREAT video! Very informative..thank you! Beautiful begonia. ❤ I was also wrong about the soil prices here in Canada. I did find a large bags of potting mix at a garden centre that were fairly reasonable. For Canada anyway. 😂 I do still want to look at making my own soil though for a better composition. I'm not too happy with the premade ones. Happy Saturday!! 🪴🌿🌱☀️
I have a begonia that looks pretty similar, I thought its a begonia rex shadow king (or something along these lines). Mine died back all the way after I bough it, I then potted it up in lechuza pon and a self-watering planter and it grew back, it´s still small but looking good. the fun thing is that the first few leaves that grew back where silver and not red.
A couple of weeks ago, my mom was given a Rex begonia to pass along to me. It was really struggling to hold on with tiny leaves (WAY smaller than the Rex I already owned). Needed water CONSTANTLY - almost daily, which barely kept it from wilting. A few days in, I decided to pull it out of the pot and check it. Totally rootbound. Almost no soil left. I didn't have the right size pot to up-pot. Having seen one of your other recent videos about root pruning, that's what I decided to do. I also trimmed it a bit (saved the cuttings, of course, I'm not a heathen 😁). After only a few days, it's looking SO much better. Getting new leaves and starting to fill in where I trimmed it. SO glad I knew to try root pruning, so thanks for that!
Thank you for the helpful and informative video I had one of those Begonia Rex along with the other one you have in the background. Unfortunately they both died last year... Well, to be honest, I killed them 😳 My mistake was to try and move them about two meters back in my living room. That was a very bad idea and they never recovered from their about three weeks in the less ideal amount of light. They just shriveled and died. I checked the soil and roots before throwing them out and they both looked fine. Lesson learned, they need a lot of light
I did this to my strawberry this spring. It wasn't growing especially good and looked like it needed a lot more energy. I don't have much space on my balcony, so I had to re-use the pot again. Root pruning really gave her new life and she puts out so much fruit. I will definitely do this again next year
Love your videos, have learned so much from you and my plants are so happy now! I couldn't quite understand the name of the drops you used on this plant to keep away fungus gnats and other insects, though.
I grow my Rex begonia on a screened patio and a strong wind came through a couple days ago, knocking it off the shelf and into the floor. I lost about half of it’s big, beautiful leaves. Maybe I should consider giving mine a root trim, especially now that the plant is only half of it’s former size. Thanks for the information!
Lol on the day I have planned to chop part of the roots of my Dieffenbachia Mars and Areca Dypsis, you release another video on why it's good to do 🤣🤣🤣 I kid you not, what sorcery is this
Two observations comparing Bonsai principles: 1) after root cutting, bonsai suggest to remove several leaves to minimize the root to leave ratio. 2) after repotting, ive been told to place in shadier-than-usual placing, just until it regains its foothold.
While trimming dead/ rotten orchid roots is something that is done, there are not many orchid growers out there that would take scissors to the healthy roots of their orchids in order to keep the plant in the same pot (nor is that necessary) for various reasons. They are precious structures in those plants, especially if you are talking Paphiopedilums, Phalaenopsis, Vandas, Cattleyas, etc. Also, cutting into a healthy orchid root tissue is just an invitation for fungal & bacterial issues. Rotten roots, a different story :)
I had a beautiful begonia that did well for quite a while, but eventually succumbed to root rot. Wish I'd had these videos then! Perhaps I could have saved it 😔
Problem. Begonias needs moist soil at all times. Or at least partial moist soil. So I added moss in one half of the plant so the other half can still evaporate water. This transformed my plant tremendously
I wish begonias weren't highly toxic to animals. I saw your video on cutting the bottom of roots off and I was baffled.. I recently separated a starfish snake plant that I planned to cut the bottom of the roots off and as I was taking soil off to see where to cut the plant apart, the bottom that I would have cut off fell off. 😂
I have a very large Rubber Fig which is about 8 feet tall with one long stalk except for one branch has grown out to one side which is now 8-10 feet long. This large arm of the plant is being supported by with spring tied to a railing. I’ve had this plant for a very long time and just love it but it can keep growing this way. I have trimmed the top of the plant in recent years and the end of the both the main stalk and the arm and they have grown two new branches. I haven’t repotted this plant in about 15 years. I just add soil on top. It is in a large ceramic pot and I don’t know how I’m going handle repotting it. Do you have any advice for me? Should I cut the long arm off and try to root a portion of the end of it? I’ve seen you drastically cut everything off a Rubber plant and it has come back. I don’t think I can bring myself to do that. I would feel like I’m cutting up a friend. Help!
Do you think that after cutting the roots it would be good to use a bit more phosphorus in the fertilizer, like kelp fertilizer, to give the plant a quicker bounce back from the stress or something?
I have loads of begonia rex. They are the only plants that thrive in winter in my cold house (most rooms 10°) BUT my biggest one at the beginning of may lost 90% of its leaves in one month! It has just started to give out a couple of new leaves, so im hoping it will spring back😮
Begonia rex will go dormant after they lose all their leaves. Don't throw it out! It just needs a little time (keep it watered) and it will come back after a few months. I have 2 begonia rex that are on different dormancy schedules so I tend to switch their places depending on who is giving a good leaf show.
Hi. ❤ I have a question. Why didn't you cut the plant vertical and have 2 plants. That Begonia is beautiful. Love your content, keep going. Cheers from Western Australia.
Your begonia plant is beautiful, but when I've tried to grow them outdoors, in summer, in a cool summer climate, they did not do well. But I will try them indoors. I have large south facing windows.
Bonsai plant-tubers have a far more sophisticated method of root pruning (mainly using a fork, some use a copper fork, and then sterilized sharp scissors)
@@B3gonias I'm propagating some in water right now. I decided to do that after I saw them as riparian plants on an aquarium channel. The cuttings are doing GREAT in water.

Am I able to clean the water with the API and then add my fertilizer to that same water to fertilize? Also I love your videos, I'm a newish plant parent and your advice helps me a lot 😁
Begonias are so hard to control. They die on anything. I finally taught and trained my begonia for a cold climate and to accept tap water. It too two years.
I wish my begonia looked that good. I'm just lucky that I can keep it alive. But seeing how you have yours close to the window, maybe that's my next move. I want a big beautiful one just like that
Hey there! I have a very soft spot for begonias, especially the the cane stemmed angel winged ones. I used to own a rex years ago and we git on really well. I left it at my old office when i went on maternity leave. I recently acquired cuttings of the ice ?something? I cant recall now. It's in water getting roots! A question. What is it you said you added 2drops of to the water to kill fungus gnat larvae???
@@SheffieldMadePlants 🥺the quest to finally find something to eliminate those pesky nuisances is getting harder and harder! Many years ago when we spotted larvae in the substrate (or mould as an older colleague used to call it) we just added a tiny drop of washing up liquid in the watering can and bingo, job done! They didn't get the chance to mature into adult flies. But that doesn't work anymore 😕
