hey all! i bought a polka dot begonia the last week and now her leaves are shriveling and turning brown :( any tips on how to help her would be much appreciated! her big leaves look okay as far as i can tell. i have a humidifier next to her and have been following a regular watering schedule. i’m not sure what’s happening!

Not sure if this will be of any help but my story with this plant is similar, twice I purchased and twice I unalived.. shriveled, crispy leaves etc. the third plant was the charm.. pulled it out of soil and it is happily living in leca. East facing window.
