So obsessed with my polka dot begonia. Iâve had her for about 7 months and sheâs gotten so big!! Only thing I canât figure out is the crispy tips on the leaves. Any ideas on what might be causing them to brown?

snagged this peacock begonia at a plant swap in feb and i think she's finally ready to be potted.. any advice?
Hey guys! Iâve posted a few pictures of my super leggy begonia here. Itâs dropping all of its bottom leaves and working itâs way up. Question 1 would be is this normal? If not what can I do to prevent/fix this. Secondly would you guys recommend doing a chop here? As you can see there are tiny green spikes along the bare stem. Are those incoming leaves? If so Iâll leave it alone but you guys let me know what youâd recommend me to do. Thanks!
I got this at a plant swap a few weeks ago and the leaves are all sticky. iâve read itâs bugs so i wiped it down to alcohol twice now and the sticky keeps coming back. Any ideas of how to help it? Open to all suggestions

Hi! Can anyone identify the begonia Rex?
Just received these two beauties todayđ
i bought this begonia yesterday, anyone know how i can help her out?
Lively again!! đ 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!
Just received this begonia and looks like it needs love. Iâm new to the plant mom life. So wondering if I should repot? Thinking it needs more room?
This babe needs help!! It was so lively and full when I brought it home now itâs droopy and faded. I had it under a light and gets indirect sun in the evening. Soil isnât too wet. It didnât have a tag when I bought it, but is it too much light? Too big of a pot?
Begoniasaurus Rex is looking mighty foine on this noiteđ
Back at it with the begonias đ hopefully they survive. Big box had them in really crappy soil and had plastic netting around the crown. I lost way too much root. My guess is Iâll loose a lot of leaves but so long as the crown survives they will live on!
Appreciation for the foliage on my begonia âMacarenaâđ had her for about 2 years now!
Question for my maculata lovers, when it unfurls new leaves are they already relatively close to the size they will stay or will each leaf get larger as the leaf gets older. Just got my first one a week ago, saved her from Walmart with lots of new small leaves and just curious on what Iâm getting.

Advice request: This little buddy has been putting out maximum effort since I adopted him last June. See: Before and After pics. However he is rather unruly and uneven in shape. Would you chop & prop? Iâm also considering moving him outside for summer so he gets ample opportunity to grow. If I am to chop & prop, can middle cuts of stems be propagated? Iâm thinking of the XL stem thatâs flowering. Weâve come so far, I just donât want to mess him up. đ Thank you for your input!
2 weeks ago vs. today??? help?? 𫹠she is truly growing like a WEED in my greenhouse cabinet, Iâm so impressed. love her work! đđ«¶ (conditions are roughly 75-80 degrees F, 75-80% humidity. I also use SuperThrive Foliage Pro and Cal Mag for fertilizers!)
