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

Bella(LindaDawn) I found this website that seemed to have some good advice for your Angel Wing Begonia. https://www.thespruce.com/grow-cane-type-begonias-1902482#:~:text=Ensure%20the%20plant%20is%20kept,holes%20for%20excess%20water%20drainage.
Dropping leaves might indicate the roots are staying too wet. Crunchy leaf edges usually mean it wants higher humidity. Make sure it's not near a drafty window or heating vent also
