# Hi there! I’m a new plant mom and I’m terrified. I have a begonia…

Hi there! I’m a new plant mom and I’m terrified. I have a begonia that I purchased back in March. Can someone tell me if I’m doing alright by him lol? Posting a picture of the day I got him vs today. Also I’ve noticed some browning on 2 leaves…not sure if it’s a fungus?

He’s grown so much! No dead spots or dead leaves! So beautiful!! Good job!!

She looks great! Good on you for giving her a grow light. The brown tips is just kinda what that plant does. You could try distilled water. But don’t worry to much about it unless it starts moving up the full leaf on multiple or all of your leaves.

Browning of the tips could mean under watering or not enough humidity
