Any help on this begonia listada? I’ve had it for over 6 months now and it constantly looks like this lol I’ve tried keeping in a humidity dome which didn’t work. It will grow leaves that just curl over and fall off :/

Not surprised to hear. This has been on my wishlist for a while now, but haven’t bought since my research led me to believe they are difficult and have high humidity terrarium type needs. I have not been able to keep any of these rare begonias alive in a dome so far.  
From what I understand they like to have their soil dry out partially before they receive water again but when you have it in a dome, the soil really never gets that dry because it just stays constantly moist and so it gets rot easily. I’m really not sure how to both keep it in high enough humidity and a dome/ terrarium at the same time as allowing the soil to dry out to its liking enough so it can breathe. It’s a very delicate balance apparently. 🤷🏻‍♀️
