leggy rex begonia

I've been growing a lovely silver/burgundy, rex begonia (can't recall the name)for the past couple of years in a northwest window. With increased family responsibilities of the past few years, my gardening (indoors and out) has not had the attention it used to get. I'd never had a rex begonia before, anyway. This is such a beautiful plant, but it has become very leggy. The leaves themselves look pretty healthy, and there are new ones coming. After not flowering for about a year, it has some new buds. I must admit I've done almost nothing to care for it except watering, did give it some time-release houseplant Osmocote in the past. Probably it needs repotting, for starters. Now that I've seen how to propagate from leaves, I won't mind so much cutting off those big long-legged beauties. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Judy
