This babe needs help!! It was so lively and full when I brought it home now it’s droopy and faded. I had it under a light and gets indirect sun in the evening. Soil isn’t too wet. It didn’t have a tag when I bought it, but is it too much light? Too big of a pot?
i noticed that my begonias need a thorough and regular watering with fertilizer every other time. cut off the dead and see if it’ll grow back

All the way to the bottom of the leaf stem but don’t cut the crown, the main larger part of the plant. It’ll sprout new leaves from the crown as long as it’s healthy
0 likes as close as possible to the stem just because whatever is left of the stem will die off anyway, good luck!
1 like I have this same begonia and I repotted it and I had to cut off all the leaves. As long as the crown is healthy it’ll start sprouting new leaves soon. They do like humidity and they don’t like direct sun they e joy shade with filtered and dappled sun
