I got her 3 days ago and she was just fine. it isn’t sunburn as she’s sat in a dark room quarantining from my other plants before I introduce her to my collection She is in a self watering pot with regular water with a small bit of hydrogen peroxide in it (yes lower than 3%) because I have a small gnat problem and I don’t know if they’re in the soil I potted her in or not I removed the water yesterday and replaced it with regular water with nothing in it when I saw that this was happening to her. the big leaf pictured is the only leaf that has gotten worse in the last 15 hours ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/01xxJDQEQoi1GHUqjnCe4aq1ZH6qiVGCKZZ8UuqwVRo/R2Kil-VfRcS6zTryXc68qA.webp?size=large) ## 8개의 댓글 ### Josie님이 2024-06-03에 댓글을 남겼어요. Has it been reported since bringing it home? It could just be repot shock. The peroxide shouldn’t hurt it at all but it could have root rot if it was in a self watering pot at the store as well. Self watering pots are actually really bad for house plants. They keep the plant wet for far too long and cause root rot #### Kimma님이 2024-06-03에 답변했습니다. I did repot it on saturday, and her roots didn’t have any signs of rot also these spots aren’t mushy, they’re dry and crusty #### Josie님이 2024-06-03에 답변했습니다. My angel wing did the same thing when I repotted it. If it doesn’t loose more than a. Few leaves you’re probably fine and it’s just shock. The other thing it could be is if the crown of the plant was damaged which will kill most if not all the plant but I think it’s just a repot shock. Begonias are dramatic when being repotted sometimes. ### Alyssa님이 2024-06-03에 댓글을 남겼어요. If it’s dry and crusty could it be a humidity problem? If I’m not mistaken most begonias like humidity #### Kimma님이 2024-06-03에 답변했습니다. I got her at the home depot and can say with confidence that her humidity levels haven’t changed since leaving the store lol #### Alyssa님이 2024-06-03에 답변했습니다. lol, no truer words have been said, Home Depot and Lowe’s definitely abuse their plants, yeah I’d go with everyone else and say repot shock. Maybe check her roots if it gets worse or spreads #### Kimma님이 2024-06-03에 답변했습니다. thank you so much, I hope that’s all it is ### Josie님이 2024-06-04에 댓글을 남겼어요. Very true it is a humidity loving plant but just begonias like 50% or higher is what they prefer but most homes have an ambient if at least 40% so it shouldn’t be enough of a different to hurt it that bad. --- _Planta 커뮤니티 (https://getplanta.com). 누구나 읽을 수 있습니다. 게시물을 올리고, 댓글을 달고, 좋아요를 누르려면 Planta 앱을 다운로드하세요: https://getplanta.com/download_
