Ok sooo this is my first begonia. And it’s a massive maculata that’s desperately needs a new stake, or multiples. There are 7 different vines or growth points. How are these guys meant to be? Staked or training? And how would would stake something like this without making it look like a school science project 😂 any ideas please really need it with this one. TIA 🙏🌿

Oh wow! You are the best begonia maulata mama. I dont think I've seen one going off like that. You could do a trellis if you wanted it to go in certain directions. You could also prop the top portions and make the pot bushier

😂 haha thanks but I can’t take the credit. I just got it in a local swap!
