Hi! I recently got this spotted begonia and after 3 days of it being in its new home it started dropping healthy leaves. The soil is moist but not wet, it’s next to a humidifier, about 2 feet away for a south west facing window, and temps are 65-75 degrees. Does anyone know what could be causing this? My best guess is shock to it new environment. I’m attempting to propagate the fallen leaves. Is that possible with begonia leaves?

    You can propagate them if they have nodes on them

      That’s what I figured 😭 they sadly don’t have nodes. Just fallen leaves.

    Could be shock, also maybe let it dry out a little more?

    You could propagate them if you cut them and add routing powder and put in dirt

    Wait it out. They are really good growers. Probably just needs time to acclimate. You’ll get new leaves in those spots.
