# Does anyone happen to know why my begonia is doing this? I think it’s…

_Pubblicato da prayformyplants il 2025-06-12_

Does anyone happen to know why my begonia is doing this? I think it’s wilting? I’m not too sure but I’ve cut several leaves and the stems aren’t mushy, there’s no signs of rot and I’m doubtful that it’s due to overwatering. I dont think it’s pests either. I originally thought it was too humid so I moved it but there was no change and now it’s losing its last leaf. It’s also is actively putting out new growth just doesn’t hold more than one leaf at a time. Any suggestions?

Same leaf in the pics below, before and after!

You say not overwatering, well what about under watering? The leaf is curling which is usually a sign of needing water. Plus you were questioning about it wilting. How does the soil feel? Not just the top but down into the pot. I let mine get pretty dry before I water. I also keep them in very bright light, no sun. Even if you lose all leaves, still a chance of a comeback. Mine are thriving and I treat them all as I described. I have more than the pics.

Your begonias are great!! Thank you for all the info, mine actually does get a bit of direct sun should I move it further away? And yes I let the pot get pretty dry I check about two inches into the pot but even if I feel a little moisture I leave it alone cause I’m afraid of rot 😭😂

Thank you. Be careful of direct sun. Morning may be ok. Maybe you are letting it get too dry.
