# When I asked if I should do anything about this begonia when 2/3 of…

_Posted by Plantingsherry on 2026-10-20_

When I asked if I should do anything about this begonia when 2/3 of it died, including all of the bottom leaves on this one part of the plant that survived. You guys said basically leave it alone and it will be OK eventually or wait till it gets bigger and pinch off the top for a second plant.

And look what happened! There’s a new shoot coming up and a leaf is growing from lower down on the branch.
