who ever wins auction will get 8 cuttings to choose from the begonia collection. they will be dipped in clonex gel for preserve and rooting. They will be set in moist perlite to help with growth in shipping. **All of my cuttings are dipped in clonex rooting gel and propped into perlite or moss bins to help root faster. It is COMPLETELY normal for prop leaves to crisp. As long as the future growth and roots are heathy***
