Hello, I’m trying to save my begonia maculata. I saved it from a Walmart last fall. I did a good job of getting the leaves to grow and got it back to good health, it even did well during the winter. Then this spring it began dropping its leaves. There are no pests I make sure not to over or under water, I do fertilize it but maybe I’m not using the right kind. Eventually I thought maybe it needed to be repotted, as it was still in its greenhouse container. I put it in a terracotta pot, fertilized it and watered throughly. It’s still dropping leaves😢 and new leaves at that. They grow out a good ways then the tips turn brown, sometimes the stem blackens, then they crumple and fall off.
Hi Ena, Thanks for watching and sharing your Begonia Rescue journey. You have done alot of things that l would do as well. Only thing l could think of is to help with boost of warmth and humidity by placing a clear plastic sleeve/bag around it bur make sure there is a large enough gap for airflow flow to occur and plant it in an area with extra morning sunlight/ bright indirect sunlight and no direct afternoon sunlight. Hope that helps and keep me updated on the progress. Happy Begonia Maculata Gardening ❤️
Hi, Good question! These days l use 1/2 strength liquid fertiliser once a month. I found that when l was using once every 2 weeks l saw ( especially in winter) crystals in the soil which means l'm overfertilising. Happy Begonia Gardening ❤️
@@PlantNationMinh thanks trying to figure out what to prune - only four leaves. i have a baby leaf closer to soil thats being overshadowed and new leaf on top grew big and pushing new shoot.
Help my poor maculata my 4yr old has ripped the leaves thank god I can propagate them and they're doing well... But his also broken the stem, the stem has no leaves. How can I produce new growth?
Hi Keez Sorry to hear about your Begonia. I would try and propagate the stem. Give it as much indirect light as possible. Cross fingers it works. Happy Begonia Gardening ❤
Hi Luisa, Thanks for watching and your question. I have a video on Begonia propagation. Happy Begonia Gardening ❤️ th-cam.com/video/C6y2L9M-0Lg/w-d-xo.html

If using a moisture meter At which number would it be best to water
Hi Jokha
Great question. I would water when it says number 4 ( the last number that indicates moist before its dry). Happy Begonia Gardening ❤
1/2 strength fert every two weeks or month?
Hi, Good question!

HELP! I can’t get leaves to root at all! I can propagate the nodes like crazy but the leaf end just turn brown!! What’s the trick?? Thanks!
Hi Its harder to root leaves. Dipping rooting hormones will help. ❤
