I dont see any roots either, but I'd go ahead and plant it anyway, stranger things have been known to happen,Good Luck Christine

I encoutered the same problem couple of seasons ago when the soil was too wet. Too much watering. Now I take a cutting and just stick it in a 1/2 gallon pot that contains %80 Pime Grow and %20 Cow manure compost and water a little to keep the soil moist but not wet. They grow very nice. Also I don't use any ziplock bags or doems to keep the humidity high, used them before and had lots of problem with molds. To see if you need to water them, go by the weight of your container. What I mean is, just lift your pot before watering and see how much does it weight (you don't need a scale), then add few ounces of water then lift it and see how much it weights. Whenever you lift your pot and it feels light, usually after a week or so, then water them. I water my cuttings (all are branching now) every 10 days or so, only about 5 ounces. Good luck and keep us informed. Navid.

Rachel...Have you tried Ebay?

TLBean, the only kind of begonias I've rooted are angel wings, so I can't speak to the particular begonias you're attempting to root. But I've rooted cuttings of many different kinds of plants, and in general, the cutting needs a way to uptake water. Some plants can uptake water through a cut stem, but many cannot do it efficiently enough or long enough to root. So they need to be able to absorb moisture through their leaves; hence the need for a humid environment. When I root plants that don't root easily in water, I put them in an aquarium. I like clear plastic drinking cups with holes poked in the bottom because I can see when rooting happens without disturbing the cutting. The soil needs to be damp but not dripping wet. I have a lid with a light over the top and gravel in the bottom of the aquarium. I put water in the bottom of the aquarium no deeper than the gravel. I also use a reptile cage heating pad (they get warm but not too hot - around 75-80 deg. which is perfect for cuttings) and place it under the aquarium for bottom heat. Obviously, the cups with the cuttings sit on top of the gravel. Since the water is just below the gravel level, the cuttings aren't sitting in water, but the water evaporates and provides the moist environment they need. I have the aquarium light on a timer for 14 hours a day and the heating pad is on all the time. I've had great success with this set-up. It provides constant moisture and heat, which cuttings generally need for rooting, as well as light. The more light your cutting gets, the more energy it will have and the better it will root. The aquarium is a controlled environment, whereas if you enclosed your cuttings in plastic and placed them out in the sun on a warm day, they'd probably cook. BTW, I always clean the aquarium with soap and bleach, as well as soaking the gravel in soap and bleach (rinse it of course before using) before setting up the cuttings. Cuttings are very susceptible to pathogens so everything needs to be very sanitary. And cuttings can take a month or two to root, so just when you think nothing is happening - voila! You start seeing some roots! Good luck! Deanna
