Hi everyone! No matter what I do, my polkadot begonia keeps dropping leaves?! Help!!

Hello! This is my first begonia! Her name is Matilda! I got her from walmart i watered her two days ago and her soil is all dried up. Some of her leaves are soft, brown, and droopy. i don’t know what to do. I noticed it’s 2 different plants in one pot. And it’s the smaller plant that isn’t doing well. Should i repot the second smaller one?

Hello! Cares and tips for this precious gal? I can’t seem to keep her happy💔💔💔💔 he’s down to one leaf now🥲 also I keep reading “let it dry all the way before watering” (seems very much upset about it) but also “just the top inch before watering” and then she starts getting sticky and really wet!😵‍💫 ID: Rockii Begonia

I got this baby from someone in my neighborhood plant group a few months ago and I know it’s a begonia but I haven’t had much luck figuring out what specific type it is. It’s happy and has put out a handful of new leaves since it’s been in my care but knowing it’s name would be a nice bonus!

Wow! 🤩 This plant looks so much more amazing than I expected! The spots look like silver glitter, the undersides shimmer almost like glitter as well. Pictures don’t do it justice, mine included.

In love with these 2 new leaves on my Begonia Brevirimosa Exotica 😍 They are the first two leaves she’s grown in my care 🩷

Can anyone help me understand what’s going wrong with this beautiful begonia? I love flowering begonias, and this is the second one I’ve had in my house. After about a month, this is what they look like. The first one just continued to turn brown and slowly lost all its leaves. It looks like this one is headed the same way, and I have no idea what I’m doing wrong 😩

Any help on this begonia listada? I’ve had it for over 6 months now and it constantly looks like this lol I’ve tried keeping in a humidity dome which didn’t work. It will grow leaves that just curl over and fall off :/

Bought this one clearance last year and it is definitely thriving now, very easy to care for as well.

It’s 100F here in Oregon, and these babies are being dramatic. Gave him some extra water this morning and he was clearly grateful

Check out my late night deep dive where i found the motherlode of unaffordable (a few exceptions in there) and (mostly) un-keep-alive-able exotic and freekin stunning plants! (Mostly begonias!) 😂😻 Sigh… A girl can dream…

Hi! I’m literally so excited for this group, as I am obsessed with begonia (but unfortunately only have one so far). Here’s my Begonia Julau 💕 Ps. If you love the look of this and want to add it to your wishlist, I do want to lyk that it turns green as it ages. I had no clue when I ordered it that the pink wouldn’t last 🤦‍♀️ I guess I’ll just have to continuously propagate ☺️
