Hello! I got this Begonia a few weeks ago but it doesn’t seem to be doing too well. I repotted it today but I was wondering if anyone had anymore advice on how to revive it. Thank you!! x

Begonia need a surprising amount of light. A dedicated grow light about 6-8 inches from it will help. For where I live I also use distilled water on this begonia or the leaves get crispy.

I use rainwater, a grow light and humidifier and mine is doing quite well after a month it’s showing new growth and no crisping.

If it’s crispy, get a little humidifier. You might want to stake it up too.
