Leaves growing on a leaf of a Begonia I've a Begonia species. Somehow it started to grow new leaves on top and right in the center of an existing leaf which you can see in the center of the image. Why is it doing this? Apparently it is not a disease because the Begonia itself is growing fast. Will the new leaves eventually become a new Begonia which can survive on its own? !A Begonia growing leaves on top of a leaf

The phenomenon you are observing is probably Adventitious buds. The plantlets can develop on intact leaves or on injured one.

Back to Begonia, this phenomenon usually occurs on injured leaves, so, probably, the plant was injured during movement/by insect or by other means and because of this started to create plantlets.
