# gang, my rex begonia vine/cissus discolor is dying? maybe? or…

_Pubblicato da fuey il 2025-04-07_

gang,  
my rex begonia vine/cissus discolor is dying? maybe? or shedding leaves? but the leaves are UNALIVING THEMSELVES. the plant creates holes in the main vein of many leaves and they just die. I showed a picture of the same leaf in many angles. and a side view to show the dots are not bulging out!

i have completely repotted and sprayed it off (which i read later that spraying the leaves is not good for this plant.. whoops).  
To be fair it was shedding LOADS for 2 days after the repot and now it is about 1 leaf drop every other day.

As i repotted I saw that the stems near the base were yellowing, that has stopped but i know they’re not going to revert

i can rule out thrips. \*\*it has dots on it but they’re not thick specs\*\* it came with dots

one more photo of silvery gray holes in another leaf, this has been an ongoing issue likely from past damage

It looks like she could possibly just need some support! If this is vining plant she could just need some support!

When she was big and beautiful (like pictured) I allowed it to vine up the sides of the shelf it’s on, but since I’ve let her off because she has very little leaves left☹️

Yeah! Maybe you could get somthing to give here some support to grow up. Like the Pothos they like to climb trees in the wild! Maybe you should get her some type of pole to climb on?
