Hi all- my begonia maculata I very asymmetric. It has been growing a lot through the summer but just last week began to drop leaves. Is this normal for the fall? Is it normal to have such sidedness to these?

Might be dropping leaves if its not getting enough light, or just old leaves. Also it is growing to one side as they grow towards the light, rotate your plant every so often if you want a fuller plant
