# Hello! This is my first begonia! Her name is Matilda! I got her from…

_Posted by julesplants on 2023-09-11_

Hello! This is my first begonia! Her name is Matilda! I got her from walmart i watered her two days ago and her soil is all dried up. Some of her leaves are soft, brown, and droopy. i don’t know what to do. I noticed it’s 2 different plants in one pot. And it’s the smaller plant that isn’t doing well. Should i repot the second smaller one?

if you can separate the two plants without damaging their roots and replant them, i would do that. my guess would be root rot. my begonia started to have the same symptoms until i replanted her in a new pot with better drainage holes. if it isn’t root rot then a soil refresh couldn’t hurt 🩷

i read they can get droopy because to much and to little water. i’ll see if i can separate them and i’ll check the roots! thank you!
