My begonia has been dropping leaves a lot and hasn’t been doing well. What should I do to help it?

So we have a couple of different kinds of begonias growing in our backyard - one I knew we had (it’s huge and everywhere) and some strawberry begonias that I just noticed this summer. Is there a way I could cut a few and propagate them? I’ve never owned begonias so I’m clueless lol Thanks in advance for any advice or tips! 🪴

I have had my spotted begonia for about 5 months and the leaves are not improving- should I snip the dry ones?

So obsessed with my polka dot begonia. I’ve had her for about 7 months and she’s gotten so big!! Only thing I can’t figure out is the crispy tips on the leaves. Any ideas on what might be causing them to brown?

Hey guys! I’ve posted a few pictures of my super leggy begonia here. It’s dropping all of its bottom leaves and working it’s 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 I’ll leave it alone but you guys let me know what you’d recommend me to do. Thanks!

I got this at a plant swap a few weeks ago and the leaves are all sticky. i’ve read it’s 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

Plant help!

Just received this begonia and looks like it needs love. I’m 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 it’s droopy and faded. I had it under a light and gets indirect sun in the evening. Soil isn’t too wet. It didn’t have a tag when I bought it, but is it too much light? Too big of a pot?
