# I got a Rex begonia about a month ago from costa farms. It started…

_Publié par Hollie le 2023-08-02_

I got a Rex begonia about a month ago from costa farms. It started off standing straight up and now it looks sad and the soil is super hard and crumbly. All I have done is water it twice. Not sure if I should repot it or if I need to water more.

Please someone help me!!! It’s such a beautiful plant

P.s. the leaves are like shriveling up and turning brown on the edges. The stems are falling over.

I have one that went backwards I think bc of too big of a pot and the soil wasn’t right and I ended up moving it to a smaller pot, possibly the soil sounds like maybe the issue! Don’t lose faith in it a repot could bring her back to life ❤️ that’s a pic of the before

This is currently, she’s so much better so she can perk back up!
