Lively again!! 😍  
7 hours apart!

Should I cut the dead part off the end of the leaves or leaf them?! Are we punny here?

Thanks so much for the newb help!

Cut the dead leaves off but make sure not to cut the crown(the thicker part below the leaf stems) I have this same begonia and is very dramatic. It lost almost all its leaves after a repot and i finally started getting new leaves popping up
