I bought this on impulse , thinking I could propagate it to fill a basket.


I have been protecting this one in the garage all winter. So I see it has longer stems, not like my impulse buy.


So now I realize there are lots of different kinds.
Is there an easy to read description of the different kinds? And is my "impulse buy" possible to propagate? Sorry I have no names...new to this, even didn't know it had a different name than begonia...

Um correct me if I'm wrong, but pelargoniums and begonias are in two difference families of plants. Geraniaceae and Begoniaceae. How can they be related?

Now you see how much I don't know! I thought begonia was in the pelargonium family from another thread I read. So I posted this in the wrong forum?

Sorry!

Lol .. you had me going there for a minute .. don't be sorry .. that's what we're all here for to learn, teach and compare notes!

Your first one is a Rex begonia, they are often tricky to grow, here is a good site with description and care info:

The second one is a cane begonia, easier to grow and propagate:
