need help with ID & propagation - begonia rhizomatous

16 years ago

I just bought this at a show & kinda wrecked it getting it home (broke/damaged a lot of leaves/stems). any help with ID would be appreciated. The turquise color on the leaves is from the flash. It is very dark green - almost black with mottled lighter green - no turquise. Also can it be propagated from short stem cuttings with a small patch of leaf in water? I have had some success with angel wing begonias that way.

I don't know the ID of this begonia but it is similar to one that I have. I find this type of stem, I call it hairy, roots pretty easy in soil. Just keep it a little damp, not wet. Hope this helps.
