re: #716 pink freud

They also do well grown in the ground. Like nearly all begonias, canes require a well drained potting mix and resent soggy feet.

Hmmm… I’m a newbie at hydroponics but I am starting to learn. Woody plants such as my kumquats and plants the don’t like soggy feet such as strawberries don’t do well with “deep water culture” systems. I’ve switched to an overhead drip system that seems to work pretty well and will probably do well for your begonia propagation. Give me a few months to work out the bugs and I might have a cheap and efficient system for you to try out.
