# My beautiful baby Ume🥹🥰 She’s my first \& only Rex Begonia I’ve ever…

_Posted by Cake🌻 on 2024-08-09_

My beautiful baby Ume🥹🥰  
She’s my first \& only Rex Begonia I’ve ever had!

She is pretty new to me. I’ve only had her for just under 2 weeks. Her pot is a bit big for her \& her soil is only filled half way up. (I jumped the gun \& repotted her as soon as I brought her home before knowing better, oops.) I’m thinking after a few weeks, I’ll momentarily take her out of this pot to put more soil at the bottom, then put her back on top.

She has been a bit droopy; less droopy than she was right after repotting, but still. She’s in an east-facing window \& her leaves face the sun. I just turn her 180 for pictures \& then turn her back after. With what I previously stated in mind about her pot, location relative to the sun \& such, is this drooping normal? Is it something I’ll just have to deal with until I add more soil later?  
I strongly welcome any tips \& suggestions!  
Thank you for reading! 🫶🏻

My advice 😊 is to repot it the right way and don’t be in a hurry. Check to see if soil is dry beforehand🌴☺️
