My goal is to inspire that big, fat new stem (in pic) to come up from the roots, by chopping off too-tall &/or puny stems, which, like Sally said, are used to make more Begonias.

Right, but since the past two too-tall/puny stems getting lopped didn't induce any big, fat new stems like yours did, would you stake it and wait (it can't support itself with something to lean on) or just go with cuttings and assume the root base will die?

Thanks
