Hey dudes! I’ve hot a couple of leggy begonias that I’m hoping to trim down before putting them back outside once it warms up. Any advice or warnings?

Begonias handle trims really well, so you’re good! Just cut right above a node and don’t take more than about ⅓ at a time. Totally normal if they sulk a bit after 😅 You can even stick the cuttings in water or soil to propagate. When you move them back outside, just harden them off slowly so they don’t get sun-scorched.
