This tuberous begonia is thriving in my outdoor hanging planter, but she’s starting to look a little leggy. Should I prune her back? I’ve never had one get this big outside… TIA!

Wowza! That is one gorgeous girl!! If she's happy in that space then I doubt the leggy-ness is light related. It may just be getting squished and some are trying to reach out to get some fresh air. 🤣 If it's not time to repot her, I think pruning is what I would do. Then you could propagate the trimmings! Make a whole basket for the other side of the porch! 👍
