Cut off the burnt leaves so it can focus on new and healthy growth and make sure you prevent the leaves from getting scorched again in the future

Even if not the whole leaf isn't burnt? Only the sides are

Green can go brown but brown can’t go green is what I was always told

Any Photos of the condition? It’s hard to comment without seeing its current state.

Sunburn areas turn black and it’s on the surface areas in patches. The photo shows only the tips are black which is not the typical sunburn markings. I would agree with others it’s a humidity issue. It could be a watering issue as well. Overwatering can cause the tips and edges to soften and die off. I recommend checking the roots for signs of rot. Increase the relative humidity around the plant as suggested. 🪴🍀

Are you sure it’s sunburn because that looks like lack of humidity.

#### Luke ha respondido el 2025-04-03

That's what my friend thought it was, if it is lack of humidity I'm not sure what to do since I have a humidifier right next to my plants

#### Phil ha respondido el 2025-04-03

I have six begonias and have two large humidifiers running during fall and winter right next to them. It depends on the humidifier. Get yourself a humidistat to check humidity levels. Should be at least 40%. Ideally about 60%.
