Dry tips...🔍
Hi community 👋
My begonia has some dry tips and I can't seem to find the cause of it.
soil is humid (not too much, I wait till the pot weighs less) and it receives like 1-2hrs of direct sun.
It didn't have a problem before....but recently the tips are crunchy.
I think maybe I need to change the type of soil? It has orchid soil as u can see in the pic.
Hope someone can give me some advice.
Greetings 🪴💚

Could be Too much light (especially direct sun or a strong grow light too close) can dry tips without burning the whole leaf.
Fix
• Bright indirect light only
• Grow light 12–18 inches away
• No direct sun rays hitting leaves Begonia maculata has thin, delicate leaf margins that lose moisture fast.
What happens
• Tip dries first → turns brown/black
• Rest of leaf can still look “okay”
Fix
• Aim for 55–70% humidity
• Use a humidifier nearby (best)
• Pebble trays help a little, but not enough alone
• Keep away from vents, fans, and drafts

Thank you so much for the advice! 💚
About the humidity...I tried it a long time ago and it didn't like it.
But I will place it around others plants.
