First of all, my apologies for constantly referring to it as a “her,” I can’t help it, she’s always given off feminine energy. 😆 My begonia seems stressed out and I’m having trouble figuring out why. I am a little stressed about it myself but haven’t messed with her (haven’t cut anywhere, haven’t repotted, haven’t moved her). I’m wondering if I’m worrying about nothing and maybe it’s seasonal. Had her for more than a year now and she always did super well, grew like crazy and stayed very lush, even growing three new stems. Over the past few months, she has been dropping leaves a lot of leaves but stayed growing tall and grew new leaves, making me think I shouldn’t repot. Now I got this weird little leaf that stopped growing. They never look like that when they grow too! All of the photos on her “page” are from before she started dropping leaves. So proud! Any advice would be appreciated. I know begonias can be tricky and I’ve only been into this for a year, but she is my treasure! My golden child! I’ll admit I stopped telling her she’s awesome and spraying her as often, as I started to get a little lazy as I got more plants, but I hesitate to think that had such a dramatic effect. If so, she’s a diva!

    My begonias usually slow down in their growth during winter when they get less sun. To me it sounds like a possible combination of less sun/light and a need to repot to give her more energy to develop new/ more leaves. I wouldn't worry too much however, they usuall sprig back pretty well when spring sets in in my experience 🙂

    I know other plants do this when they're too root bound and need a repot 🤷🏻‍♀️ worth checking the roots if you can
