Giant begonia rex

I have a really big begonia (not bragging!!).

It's grown outwards, so there's not much in the centre, and it straggles all over the place.

Can I repot it? It would make 2 or 3 plants if it could be broken up.

Bedding Plants?

Dead Clematis?

my Father used to grow a lot of these and he would take a leaf off and cut slits along the veins,then put it into a plant pot just pressed down onto the compost keeping it moist , new shoots should appear from the cuts if you keep it in a greenhouse or warm place

Thanks for that - I'm not a confident gardener & it's a bit out of my league.

If it doesn't stand repotting, I'll pop down to Bent's Garden Centre and get a new one.
