My begonia lowkey sucks. It’s 2 separate cuttings that started at the base of the leaf.  
In the past few months I haven’t been able to get it to grow and keep new leaves. It grows well in height but I can’t get anything else to stay. Today one of my OG leaves fell off and now I just have a stick. It gets prolly 5 hours of sun a day, indoor on the southeast side of the house, and in Texas.  
Please help haha

I think the pot is too large so it’s keeping the soil wet for a long time. I would repot them into a really small pot, like 2”, with roughly half potting soil and half perlite.

Make sure to check the roots. If you find any that are mushy, trim them off, then rinse the roots. Soak them in 1 part hydrogen peroxide to 5 parts water for 20ish minutes before repotting into fresh soil.
