How to Fix a Leggy Angel Wing Begonia
How do you fix a leggy angel wing begonia? Not the way most guides tell you — the standard hard chop is the fastest way to kill it. If your angel wing begonia (which is really a cane begonia) has gone tall, bare and leggy, this video shows you the method I use to bring it back bushy — without losing the plant. It's a staged approach that keeps the plant alive while it regrows from lower down, and I'll show you exactly where to cut. What I cover: -Why the usual advice — chopping right back to the base — so often kills the plant -Where to actually make your cut (and why leaving one leaf on matters) -Why this is a process, not a one-time chop -When to prune, and when not to -How to water a freshly pruned plant so you don't rot it -How to stop it going leggy again in the first place Not sure why your begonia won't flower? The sister video explains why — and it's not the feed: 👉 • Why Your Angel Wing Begonia Isn't Flowering Quick reference: -Cut to just above the lowest leaf — never leave the plant with no leaves at all -Prune before active growth in spring, or during summer — not as it slows for autumn/winter -After pruning it needs less water, so only water once it's dry -More light (a brighter spot or a grow light) prevents legginess and encourages blooming Have you got a leggy cane begonia, and are you going to try this? Let me know how you get on in the comments — I read and reply to them all. 🕘CHAPTERS🕘: 0:00 Intro: The leggy plant 0:17 Why the hard chop kills them 1:27 Where to cut instead - demo 3:04 Pruning as a process 4:08 When to do it, and watering after 4:44 Stopping it happening again #angelwingbegonia #canebegonia #begonia 🔴 Subscribe for more videos on Tropical Plants & my Greenhouse: / @grow_up_man55 📸Instagram: / grow_up_man55 👥Facebook: / growupman55 YouTube Handle: @Grow_Up_Man55
