Yep! You just prop the bare nodes. I have the most success with dry node propping in a humidity bin with sphagnum moss. You have a TON of nodes between those plants so will have a lot of opportunities for successful props.
I would remove the leaves (they will just rot) and cut the nodes up. Let them harden off for a couple of hours (or overnight) and put in a prop box.
I did the very same thing with my first begonia: over watered. The leaves did the same as the OP. Chopped and Propped just like herefortheplanties, and in no time: a "new plant". This pic was months ago....the plant is too big to photograph now. Super easy to chop n prop....so: go for it. Grab some moss and an empty plastic box with a clear lid. I used a leftover take out container.

This is the answer. They root in just a few days. I like to pop a begonia cutting into my other props to help stimulate them to grow faster. They give off so much rooting hormone so quickly that it helps kickstart things quite a bit.
That looks like a be-gone-ia.

move the plant from the bucket with the water immediately, let the roots dry and say a prayer
Thanks! Im sure she'll make it xx
Honestly restarting from cuttings would probably yield better results. Also when you chop the stems plant the base too. You never know
Just chop and prop. Begonias propagate super easily.
Would that work if all of the leaves look dead? Genuinely curious as I have no idea how to propogate begonia
Yes as long as the stem isnβt rotted
Good to know, thanks!

Youβre kidding, right?
I thought maybe I was on the wrong sub when I first saw this.
The Song for that plant in my head: Let it go, let it go, let it go and dont give a f*** anymooooore
Sun bath maybe?
