# Is my begonia supposed to be this droopy? I know I just watered it so…

_Posted by Terryn on 2025-04-25_

Is my begonia supposed to be this droopy? I know I just watered it so that could be contributing but it has stem support and the same amount of light that my pinstripe calathea does. Is it possibly in shock because I just repotted it? I let it acclimate to my home first for a week. Help! I love her and want her to be happy!

Hi there, just checking whether your pot has a drainage hole?

#### Terryn replied on 2025-04-25

Yes it does! And rocks at the bottom

So mine go floppy in the leaves when the plants are thirsty. So perhaps it’s a root readjustment to the new environment and substrate. I wouldn’t water it unless the soil is feeling on the drier side (stick your finger in as far as it will go to check). I’d probably just wait and see how it goes!

Okay! Thanks!

No worries, hope it recovers asap!

Random question- that is a gorgeous pot. Do you know where you got it from?
