Anyone know what's wrong with this Rex Begonia?
I just recently started expanding from succulents, so I'm not super sure why so many of the leaves are drooping. It was a bit rough looking when I got it about a week ago, but there wasn't much change since then, so I went ahead and repotted it while I was repotting everything else. (I used 2 parts Miracle Gro Oraganic potting mix and 1 part perlite)
The other one I have seems to be doing better, still some wilting leaves, but it had more to begin with so it doesn't look nearly as pathetic and I'd like to figure out the issue so I don't lose both.
To my knowledge, begonias are sensitive to humidity and light intensity, so I think that one or both of those must be the main culprit, but I'm not sure how to tell if it's one or the other because the symptoms seem similar #growlights #sickplants #begonia #plantaddict

I know the light is listed as direct, but I only use a grow light, so I'm not really sure how that translates? I can just move it farther away, but how do I know what's too far?
I do have a fan in my room to help the circulation, but I don't have a humidifier yet. I have a mister but I heard that can cause problems with mold on the leaves, so I was planning to try humidity domes until the humidifier comes in. I've never used those before though so no idea how well they work?
