Hi there! I went on holiday for two weeks hoping the best for my plants. The one i was most worried about was my Begonia Maculata. It survived well, however, some of the new leaves had weird shapes, small, and wrinkled. It has been over three weeks since then. It has been watered and placed under a grow light (as in the UK we get no sun). I havent seen new growth ever since, it use to always put new giant leaves out… anyone know what this means?

As long as it isn't dying, take the win!
