5” pot with drainage
Last watered 6 months ago
@LovingFanpalm Hi Stephan! I am a Begonia lover ! I have this plant, I haven’t added it to my Oasis yet but I have one. They do not like to be wet! They like to be moist! There is a fine line you have to find in my experience. I wait until it is almost dry to water it and it get Bright Filtered Sunlight!! They love the sunlight! Let it dry before watering and see if that helps and maybe get a grow light- good Luck!πŸͺ΄
I think Darah is spot on. Begonias can seemingly change in a matter of hours (okay, probably not that fast, but they are very dramatic). I’d even suggest taking it out of the gray pot for right now and letting it just dry to avoid rot. Also, is it in a self-watering pot or something that holds water at the bottom? As Darah was saying, they are very sensitive to being wet. So when watering, just remember, if you have mud, it’s too much water; soil should be wet but never muddy. (If that makes sense.) Also, never water directly by the base; water around the out edges of the plant.
