Tuberous Begonia

Noblesville, IN(Zone 5a)

Can they be cut back and not hurt them? I have two that are gangly and I want to cut them back. I am considering sending them to live elsewhere as I don't like taking care of them much.

Honibee,
You can pinch it back and then give it a little more filtered sunlight.
That should help.
You can let it go dormant and then save the bulb over to start again in the spring. I love em but they hate our heat and high humidity.

Thanks Critter, I think I will let it go dormant.

Are these the Rieger Begonias(begonia x hienalis). Cause I just bought one fro Lowes and don't know any thing about it. Any help?

I am not sure. You better post a question because I can't seem to keep the darn things alive. I'm a fancy begonia killer.
argh
