Pruning begonia reniformis — FAQ
When should I prune begonia reniformis?
Spring for any rhizome trimming; any time for dead-growth removal. Snap or cut dead leaves and flower stems off cleanly at the base. If rhizomes overhang the pot edge, cut them back to within the container using a clean, sharp blade.
How often does begonia reniformis need pruning?
As needed; typically light tidying every few weeks in growing season. Begonia reniformis is a rhizomatous species that needs little pruning. Remove dead or yellowing leaves and spent inflorescences at the stem base as they appear. The creeping rhizome can be trimmed back if it outgrows its pot. No major pruning is needed or recommended for this species.
