I have a begonia with large leaves. It is a house plant with no flowers. Do you break off the furry looking root that grows above the dirt? Do you put in water, or stick the furry root in the dirt to plant a new one? This is not an angel wing begonia. I have been sticking the furry looking root in water to grow a few strings of roots before planting in dirt. It does not work well.
It would be easiest to root a cutting from one of the tips of the plant, rather than doing it that way. You can use rooting hormone, or honey and aspirin. These make excellent rooting hormone.

do these plug plants form tubers at the end of the growing season
Non-stop begonias are tuberous begonias so they will form tubers. It may take 3-4 months to reach flowering stage.
This begonia doesnt seem to fall into the ordinary categories; therefore, no info on how to propagate. Some help would be greatly appreciated, before I make a mistake and kill them!
They are very similar to propagate to the angelwing begonia. You can take tip cuttings, dip them into a mixture of a drop of honey,and a crushed aspirin tab in warm water just enough to turn into a thick syrup. This will be the rooting hormone. Stick this in moist seedling or potting soil, and spray when it starts to dry. They will root within a week or so.

Good afternoon,could you give me some advice please? I have a large number of trailing and standard upright Begonia tubers, unfortunately over the winter storage period the tubers have been mixed. Is there any way I can identify the different tubers before starting the new growing season? If not what should I look for when the new growth starts? Any help or advice would be most welcome. Many Thanks Mr Keith Rushforth
Unfortunately there is not really a way to tell, until you have growth.
You can start them in pots and label as they grow.

I bought some begonias,set them 2 by 2 in trays as per instructions,they have started to sprout,how do i take them out of the tray and plant them in sutable pots,10-12 dia kind regards Bob Webster
I always use something small such as a chopstick, or other similar instrument. Wet the soil, and gently wiggle it out with the stick. Make a hole in the new soil that is slightly wet, and simply place it in, pushing the soil around the stem. After, you can gently water them to set the roots in.

MY BOGONIA PLANT HAS LONG STEMS WITH FLOWERS ON THEM, GROWING FROM MAIN PLANT. NEEDINGTO KNOW WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE WITH THEM. DO I TRIM THE STEMS OFF AFTER DONE BLOOMING??? THANKYOU
It sounds like your plant has become leggy and could use a shape up!
Use a small scissors or garden snip and trim the plant back. Cut the stems down to a leaf node.
You can trim the plant back to about 3 to 4 inches from the soil.
Move the plant into a brighter light area after pruning.

I do not know what this is so can't look up what I did wrong. Also I tried to propagate by cutting off a few leaves and putting them in water but they are not doing well either. Please see photos.
That is a begonia called "Little Darling". It looks like the soil is very wet. This is likely the cause. Make sure that your container has plenty of drainage so that excess water can run out. You will only want to water the soil when it is dry at least down to the first two inches.
