I bought this from a nursery a few weeks ago, the leaves are looking rough already, any suggestions on how to get it to perk back up

    I’ve been having the same issue with my begonia😭 they’re so picky and hard to take care of. Try more water but not too much, like twice a week and less sunlight? They seem very sensitive. Uneducated opinion but that’s what I can offer

    It’s a begonia maculata, waaay less needy than other (shrublike) begonias: I’m in the UK and mine is in a south facing window, is watered once a month, and will be put outside in the summer. Give it chunky well draining soil if it doesn’t already have that, and water it when the leaves are noticeably paler in colour.
