# My polka dot Begonia started getting brown and curling leaf tips…

My polka dot Begonia started getting brown and curling leaf tips after moving it closer to my south facing windows. Is this from overwatering or too much sun? I cut the brown tips but they don’t have the same pretty pointy leaves now. 😔

I commented on your last post about the moss. It may be slowing the rate at which the soil dries out. You may not be overwatering. But, the plant can look like it from sitting in damp soil too long.

Thank you all! She was getting too much direct sun for sure!
