I noticed my plants are flimsy and drooping instead of standing tall and firm. The soil was covered with moss when I got it but is getting moldy. I figured I over watered so I've given it time to dry out but it's still really flimsy. What should I do? #Begonia #help #rootrot?

It is getting brown along the edges of the leaf, is that natural or does it mean a problem? #Begonia

Begonia Linda Dawn Help, this is my first begonia. I received a large Begonia Linda Dawn a few weeks ago & a number of leaves have dropped off. I assumed it was just from a bit of damage that it sustained in shipping. Now I’ve noticed that some of the leaves are beginning to brown and dry up on the edges. She’s under a grow light & watered only when the top inch or so of soil feels dry. What can I do to help her & prevent the browning/drying of leaves? #Begonia #Begoniahelp

Begonia crispy leaves…. I received five begonias from Steve’s leaves about 3 to 4 weeks ago. Some of the plans had very damaged leaves. I trim some of them back and none of them seem to be bouncing back. They’re in my IKEA greenhouse cabinet which has 60% to 70% humidity and a grow light at the top. I’m not sure if they’re getting too much humidity too much light. I’m not sure what the problem is. Any advice would be great. #Begonia #TheThread #brunchataudreys #BegoniaRex
