Thanks for the info. I just took my two cuttings and put them in some soil in my terrarium. Hopefully that is good enough.

nice!
I like to grow my tubers from seed - yes I'm crazy.
I just recently started more seeds for this one - "nonstop mocha"

Leaf cuttings! That's the way to go.
If you were to cut off a leaf of your 'Mocha', pin it down flat onto a pot of sterile potting soil, cut the veins, and put it in a plastic bag, a new plant will start at each cut in the vein.
Cheers.

I love begonias. I've got some tubers that need to be planted. Got them yesterday. Besides begonias I love African violets. That's my other addiction.
