    1. I’ve been having the same issue with my begonia😭 they’re so picky and hard to take care of. Try more water but not too much, like twice a week and less sunlight? They seem very sensitive. Uneducated opinion but that’s what I can offer

      It’s a begonia maculata, waaay less needy than other (shrublike) begonias: I’m in the UK and mine is in a south facing window, is watered once a month, and will be put outside in the summer. Give it chunky well draining soil if it doesn’t already have that, and water it when the leaves are noticeably paler in colour.

    3. Hola, las maculatas al principio les cuesta adaptarse a los sitios nuevos, regala por debajo, y luego con cuidado la sacudes para quitarle el exceso de agua, les gusta la humedad ambiental y la claridad pero no el sol directo, y lejos de calefacciones y aires. La begonias en general bajan las hojas cuando algo no va bien pero está normalmente crece con las hojas así, yo no la veo mal, pero las puntitas secas indican falta de humedad, ojo sin pasarse con el agua ya que se pudre la raíz, y ya casi insalvable.

    4. aww thats a cute angel wing begon! did you just bring it home? sometimes they get dramatic when moved lol

      They get crispy when they get direct sunlight, and when they’re in a dry environment. I put mine in my south balcony, under shade. They don’t pick up soil, just don’t water it too much. And avoid getting water on leaves, they would kinda melt. I don’t really take care of mine actually, choose a nice spot and leave it. Water it when the pot is light. They grow so fast in this season. Mine was separated into 3 pots by cuttage.

      could be transplant shock if it’s only been a few weeks since you got it! also check if the soil is staying too wet wilting + soggy soil = overwatering, wilting + dry soil = thirsty. top mod comment says overwatering so let it dry out completely before the next water

      maybe baby just needs less water? i always overdo it. check the soil too, it might be too soggy.
