# After much searching I found this beautiful polkadot begonia! She has…

_Posted by Ms.Issy on 2024-03-03_

After much searching I found this beautiful polkadot begonia!  
She has some manual damage (probably due to shipping to the nursery I found her at), and has a few brown crispy tips. No sign of any pests on the leaves or stems.  
I carefully pinched off the brown tips \& the nursery repotted her \& added a few small bamboo poles for support.  
I have placed her near an east facing window, should she be right in the window? Or is a few feet back okay?  
I’ve never had a begonia before and she’s such a big pretty plant I don’t want to accidentally kill her. 😅

That’s good to know! I’ll be sure to keep her out of direct sunlight.  
I have no idea why I am so nervous that I’m gonna accidentally kill her.  
Maybe it’s because she looks so much more fanciful than my other plants 😂 🤷🏻‍♀️
