Does anyone know why my rex begonia keeps wilting?
I'll water it when it all starts to droop, and it'll perk back up. But then, I'll wake up the next morning and at least one leaf will be completely limp.

Welcome to Greg, Robin! If it's always the same leaf, I'd remove the leaf.
Begonia leaves are fragile, and if they are damaged on the stem, that leaf can consistently struggle.
Rex Begonias will lose leaves when they are no longer helpful to the plant; I go through and remove the dead leaves when I water. As long as you have new leaves, it's okay to lose a few. It's a circle of life kinda thing. ☺️
That's a cool-looking pot!

@wolfqueen I thought it was drying out, too, but I had just watered it the day before so it didn't make sense.
