Why does Betty hate me. I think she needs repotted in a tiny pot with some orchid bark thrown into her soil mixture.

What kind of plant is this?

#### Chey replied on 2025-12-29

Begonia

### plantgeek commented on 2025-12-29

definitely too big of a pot. also looks like the air might be too dry. try a humidifier or a mister.

#### Chey replied on 2025-12-29

I have a constant humidifier going, but it hasn’t spread since I started the humidifier so maybe that is the issue along with the big pot

Not sure what your sich is, but if a plant isn’t drying out quickly enough, that can be a sign it needs more light.

Just know in the beginning they can be very slow growers but the spotted begonias loves lots of light and medium watering
