# Can anyone help me understand what’s going wrong with this beautiful…

_Posted by Cecilia Bo-Belia on 2023-08-23_

Can anyone help me understand what’s going wrong with this beautiful begonia? I love flowering begonias, and this is the second one I’ve had in my house. After about a month, this is what they look like. The first one just continued to turn brown and slowly lost all its leaves. It looks like this one is headed the same way, and I have no idea what I’m doing wrong 😩

My flowering begonia loves the sun don’t overwater. Cut off the dead flowers pruning helps it grow new flowers. Take off all brown leaves. My begonia is doing well now in direct sun. I had to nurse her back to health. I gave her a little coffee and fertilizer. She’s flowering beautifully.

Thank you! You’re right, I think it need more sun!
