You might not be watering enough when it’s time! That’s why it would become soft/droop quickly after watering. Wait until the top few inches of soil are dry, and then water until water runs out the drainage holes.

I don’t have specific experience with begonias, so keep in mind this is just what I do with my other plants :)
