What did I do! She won’t grow and is slowly dropping leaves, she gets water after she’s been dry for a day. She under a grow light with other friends that are fine. Anybody know what could be the case? Thanks!

Is that a begonia?

Yes, I don’t know what variety.

Maculata!! I swear

The leaves seem burnt.

it could potentially be too much light for her if she's a begonia. they like indirect light and can tolerate shade pretty well. Just to make sure its not fungal or root rot, I would recommend taking her out of the pot and inspecting the roots. Snip anything thats black and mushy, potenially replace the soil with dry if it seems really wet in there. its tricky because the do like damp soil, so use just the first knuckle of your finger when you test her for watering. if thats all dry, you're good to go. They also like high humidity so if you have a humidifier, a cloche, or a bathroom with windows, that should help.

Thanks! I’ll try that.
