Help!!! Sound the alarm!!  
So I had my maybe begonia maculata in water after I propagated (might of left it there a little too long). I just transferred her to a pot and noticed the dry wrinkled patch. What should I do? Do I cut it? Leave it alone? Give up on plants? 🙃🥺😆 no jk but seriously pls help a girl out! thanks!!!!

i wouldn’t cut yet. it’s not going to come back though. if it starts to rot remove it

You can trim the bad part of the leaf off so the plant isn’t spending energy on it but leaving the good bit behind will help the plant gather nutrients. Make sure you aren’t overwatering it looks like it might be too wet

Depending on how big the roots are, the pot might be a little big? Wich could lead to too much wet soil for the roots to handle

…I don’t have a smaller pot. Is it rlly bad for the plant?
