How to fertilize Begonia dotsy

Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Begonia dotsy after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Second Guessing, can anyone confirm if this is a Rex? He ended up losing all leaves after i brought him home. Popped him in a covered terrarium and has transformed! Looks amazing, just am not sure if greg properly identified. The label only said #Begonia

Why is my Rex begonia so sad?? Hello! I was looking for some help with my Rex begonia. She has been looking very droopy lately and has progressively browning tips on her leaves and I can’t figure out the issue. I tried switching from tap to distilled water and I also started using a watering bulb because I read she likes consistent moisture instead of being watered every few days but I feel like she just keeps getting worse!! Any help would be appreciated thank you 🙏 #RexBegonia #help

This is my first plant! Any tips on what to expect/do besides waiting to water every 9 days? #Begonia

Nice and watered. Now it’ll perk back up soon! Definitely looking sad. Here’s to normalizing going through depression and neglecting your plants from time to time. They’ll be okay. I’m gonna nurse them all back to health again. But oof, man, it’s looking sad in my house for sure.

It definitely needs repotting. Tall and sparse leaves. How do I encourage it fill out? What can I do do with it? #Begonia

Only keeps 4 leaves at a time. Have 1 long stem left with 4 leaves at the end. Should I try propagation? #Begonia

Struggling and dropping leaves Hey there! I got this guy about a month ago and we havnt seen any progress from him, he’s failing to thrive and dropping leaves and I’m unsure why. I initially had him under a grow light, pretty close to it and he started to droop and the leaves lost some color so I moved him a little bit further away and no change. So maybe it’s a watering problem? Idk #
