Hey new here but I just got this baby on clearance. I’m new to being a plant mom and was wondering if anyone has any tips/suggestions to help me save her.

If you have a clear storage container that seals, I would try putting it in there in a smaller plastic pot. The container will keep the humidity high and that’s what begonias like. If you have sphagnum moss you can take it out of the soil and put it in moss for a while in the container. Keep it in high light too

I had this happen to mine when I moved it to a bigger pot, so I moved it back to a small one and she’s thriving again I recommend reporting her and just keeping an eye on her and make sure she’s staying watered and drying out a little ❤️

She has tiny new leaves! She's alive and i think you can save her with the advice here.
