How do I cut back a hanging small begonia basket so that it is full and pretty.?

Right now, my basket looks scraggly. the blossoms and leaves are not full like when I purchased it from the green house. Can I just cut it all with a scissors like a hair cut or do I have to pinch off the blossoms at the joints.

    either or will work. i personally like the pinching off method, but sometimes you get a tough branch that doesn't want to break; so then you get the scissors.

    make sure that your also using a good fertilizer and that the plants root system hasn't outgrown the pot that it is in. both can cause loss of leaves and an overall scraggly look.
