# Hi! So my begonia prince noir… its leaves are so top heavy they’re…

_Publicado por Deana el 2026-02-15_

Hi! So my begonia prince noir… its leaves are so top heavy they’re falling over. They’re not wilting or melting, they’re perfectly healthy. She’s constantly putting new leaves out. Should I let it do this or any suggestions to get her upright?

there stems are sensitive and when they become too heavy they can break. It’s honestly up to you if you want to stake them or not. There stems will break and grow new ones.  
I staked mine just in the center ( not the same kind of begonia) and it’s been doing well

it would be a good idea to prune and propagate the cuttings in water\\soil
