Potting up is not my favorite thing to do but it does go with the territory. I guess I should repot more often but I don't want to repot every year as some people advocate. I think 3 years sounds good. That way I could repot just 1/3 of the plants each year.

If I can't grow begonias in the pot, then I can easily grow ferns. Here is a pot that had a nice rex begonia in it at one time (I took out the last little rhizome) and let these 3 different volunteer ferns grow instead.
