Can anyone help with what could be causing this on my begonia luxurians ? The new growth looks a little better but I have already cut off a couple branches from both main stems as they were deteriorating fast :(

Is there any residue on the leaves? Dust looking stuff?

No residue no just the normal little hairs on begonias

You may have pests of some sort.

#### ancientfootstep replied on 2023-06-17

I haven’t seen any pests in the soil or on the foliage and none of my other plants it’s nearby have had any pest issues

Browning edges might be from hard water.
