I have inherited this beauty from my 98 year old aunt. How do I repot and or make it cut it back to propagate more plants?

What kind of plant is it?

#### Hattie’s greenhouse replied on 2023-12-28

I believe it’s a rex begonia

Oh lovely begonia! You can cut leaves and propagate in water. You can also propagate from cuttings the leaves. Have a google

I tried putting a leaf that broke off in water and it never got a root.

I tried the other method of cutting a few veins on underside and placing on dirt, and misting with water. Didn’t work.
