How can I fix my Rex begonia? I’ve seen it droopy before but never this much

Also it lives inside, I brought it out to get better lighting

It may need repotting 😊

Yeah, with some of my plants I've repotted over time to bury the longer stem area in the soil. Sometimes it will recognize that and grow more roots, and also looks nicer. Might help the growing stalks stand up better 🙂

The leaves do all look like they are reaching in one direction, I find I have to rotate my begonia once a week so the leaves grow evenly in multiple directions. I don't get a ton of light in my window, so you could try giving it more direct light and see if that helps with the growing direction! Good luck!
