Pinching back tuberous begonias?

| I'm growing several tuberous non-stop begonias. They are looking tall and legging. Would it benefit the plant to pinch it back to make it bushier, or should I just leave it alone? Thanks... |

| Leave it alone. They do not respond to pinching. they do best with a single stem that is supported by a stake. Allow one flower bud per set(pinch the two side buds which appear and are singles). Hanging begonias will have multiple stems. |

| Non stops usually grow quite bushy without any help in my experience |

| There are some non-stops that will grow to very tall heights. I had one last year that went to 3' before it broke. You should focus on how to stake begonias. Pinching is not effective for these plants. |
