Few weeks ago, I was very surprised to see bunch of flowers at the base of the plant on the new sprouts. Please see photo attached above.
Why is this so? How to make it bear flowers more evenly? My begonia is at least 1 year old, well at least when I had received it as a gift from a friend. Should I cut the old stems so new ones can grow without competition? If I should, will they survive if I replant those? I know I’ve got so many questions but it’s what a forum is for, isn’t it?
I wish you all a lovely evening!

I’m also happy that I’m going to have more of this plant soon with the cut stems I’ve just planted.
