Rex Bugona. First image is today, I noticed it looked bad yesterday so I've been hitting it with the humidifier (distilled water). The edges are kin of crispy it's folding into a cup. The soil isn't wet but not totally dry. I repotted it with the soil it came with plus some succulent soil (fast draining).

Second image is last week when it looked better among my other plants.

Is it too much light? I have crappy Amazon grow lights and they're by a window. Dude at the nursery said they don't like direct light.

    They need water, not a humidifier. All my guys are growing in around 50% humidity and doing great

    Begonia tend to have fine, shallow roots. The top of the soil looks quite dry. If you poke your finger into the soil and the top layer is dry… w a t e r…
