Im not sure what’s happening with my begonia. The leaves seem to be dying off. I had it hanging in my window and it began to not do so well so i moved it away and has got worse. Anyone know what’s wrong with it please? Luckily I took a cutting before all this which has began to root :)

Do you have a good humidity level in the room? Begonias really like humidity. It can also depend on if you’ve fertilized or not, if you haven’t might be time too or if you have might be too much fertilizer? Theres several other things that it could be as well

Thank you, I use babybio houseplant food with every water so it could be that! I’ve added better pics of the leaves if it helps

Hmm I’m not sure that most plants can tolerate fertilizer with every water. It might be worth researching fertilizer tolerance for this specific plant. It doesn’t look to me personally like overwatering due to the area where the browning is starting but I’m not 100% sure.
