I can see from the plant info that the pot has no drainage. I can't say for sure what is going on without a clear photo, but all plants benefit from being planted in well-draining soil in a pot with drainage holes so it can remove excess water! Good luck!

Oh darn! That's a mistake. The pot does have a drainage hole. Any guesses? I was reading that this is more an outdoor plant. IDK. Just don't want it to die.

@BirdyBird if the top half inch of soil is still damp I wouldn’t water it right away, Rex begonias only need to be watered once a week. They are also sometimes dramatic and will wilt if they are too thirsty but they recover pretty quickly. They do make pretty good houseplants and can take a bit of neglect. Hope this helps a little!

I also give my begonia less water than what the app says, they don’t like to be too wet!
