I was told never to take a cutting without dipping the blade first in case of infection. If one plant has something, cut it and move on to the next plant hey presto that's got it too. My Begonia growing friend Stan is brilliant with Begonias, he's had many years experience :-)

It makes sense when you think about it. I'll have to remember to do it,
