Begonia leaves start beautiful and then start to look like the one on the right and then fall off. What’s happening?! 😩

I would assume either pests, water issue (under watering maybe) or humidity issue(not enough or direct water on leaf without proper airflow)? I’m not certain since I don’t know your conditions though! :(

Thank you for your thoughts! I appreciate it.

If your top watering and the water is hitting this plant they hate it, also I wouldn’t mist this plant. Do you have the proper humidity, this plant needs a good source of humidity

Thank you - I have been misting this plant so I’ll stop and see if that helps.
