While we are on topic begonia, I have a question. Last year I was
given a "Beefsteak" begonia, grown for its foliage, as its flowers are
relatively small and it doesn't seem to bloom often. My problem is
that the leaves grow out of a thick "stem" that keeps elongating. It
is so long now that if the plant wasn't propped against a wall, the
pot would tip over! What does this plant think it is? A vine? A ground
cover? Is the only solution rooting a new plant from the leaves and
then pitching the mother? Any other ideas? I have two stems one
extending 12" from the pot, the other 24".
