Looks like your leaves are too dry! Increasing humidity will help prevent dry edges on your Begonia in addition to a consistent watering routine. Try adding a pebble tray, or using a humidifier! πŸ€—

I personally like to #ButtChug my Begonia so it drinks up the necessary water.

Also, make sure to give it bright, INDIRECT light. Don’t put it under direct sun or it’ll scorch your leaves, starting with the edges!

Good luck and happy growing! πŸͺ΄πŸ€—πŸ’•
I added a little tray of pebbles to with a small amount of water underneath my begonia to add humidity and she’s thriving! My leaves started to shrivel and dry toward the edges and now she has 3 new leaves growing!! Definitely recommend either the pebbles underneath or adding a humidifier to the area that it is in!🌿πŸ₯°
@kscape thanks. I’ll try a pebble tray. It’s gets indirect sunlight all day. Maybe it’s too much?
@RadRose great! I’ll try a tray. Thx
@Dolewhip the lighting should be good! Try a pebble tray for sure! :) good luck! πŸ€—πŸ’•
