Hi guys, I’m a new Begonia owner and overall new to plant care. I wanted to ask and see if anyone could take a look at these pictures and maybe give me some advice based on how the plant looks. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Welcome! 🤗 Begonias are my fave. I would cut off the leaves that are dead or dying at the base of their stems. I do this with most of my plants – it’s so the plant can save its energy for healthy growth instead of spending it on those. Begonias like medium to bright, indirect light, and I water them usually once a week or whenever the top 1 - 2 inches of soil is dry. Also, begonias \*do not\* like misting. Best of luck! She’s gorgeous! ☺️
