Begonia seeds are some of the smallest flower seeds that you will find, so when you plant them, be aware that a small seed pod that weighs only about an ounce can create as many as three million seedlings.

Propagation

The best way to propagate a wax begonia is to take a stem cutting from the plant. This cutting should be taken in the spring, and each cutting should be about three to four inches in length. Place the cutting about two inches into the soil. While the cutting is forming roots, you will need to keep the soil moist, and the air around the plants humid. One trick that many gardeners use to give a plant more humidity is to cover the leaves with a plastic bag. It will take some time for the plant to begin growing again, but with the right care, it will thrive soon enough.
