should i cut back the dead blooms? #Begonia

Browning stem So I repotted this baby when I got it. He promptly lost most of his leaves which I can get over. But now only a couple stems are putting out new growth (2 left-most), and the main stem (nearest support stick) is browning in the middle. My first question is, is that browning stem likely to recover and eventually put out new leaves? And if not, should I cut and prop the stems that are healthy and growing? #Begonia

Plant ID help, please 😇 Hiiiii! I found a random bulb, and I was like, let’s see what this is, so I planted it. That was a couple months ago. Now, it’s grown into this stunning little creature, but I have no idea what it could be! Greg thinks it’s a Strawberry Begonia, and I had no idea some begonias had bulbs/rhizomes! Is this a begonia? It totally looks like one to me, but I want to be sure. My other plant ID app says Strawberry Saxifrage, but it doesn’t look the same to me. What do you guys think? #GregGang #PlantID #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #HappyPlants #WhatPlantIsThis #babevila

What are these bugs? Help! In the soil of my polka dot begonia, I have found a lot of dead (and a few living!) bugs. They look like tiny white worms with lots of little legs. Does anybody know what they are? Solutions? Should I quarantine my plant away from the others? Any help is much appreciated!❤️

How to get my polka dot begonia to bloom? This beauty was my birthday gift from my nana. She has been trying to get it to bloom for quite some time with no success but I would really love to be able to bloom. So what tips, tricks or suggestions do all you wonderful plant lovers and experts have? #PolkaDotBegonia

Angel Wing Begonia Repot I repotted my tiny baby angel wing begonia a couple days ago. I got it as a cutting in a miniature wine glass with leca and pebbles. It finally grew a new leaf and the roots looked feisty so I decided to upgrade to a year cotta pot with no hole set in a normal size wine glass filled with water. It was very root bound with all the leca. I could barely get it out! In theory with the new pot, the water will slowly seep through the terracotta at the right speed for my plant. We shall see! #AngelWingBegonia #Begonia #BegoniaBrigade #BegoniaBunch #selfwateringplanter #wineglassplanter #HappyPlants

When to be worried. I feel like I am constantly posting for help. I feel bad. But my nana has put years into this plant and I don’t want to kill it. Lately the big leaves have been getting droopy and are falling off with the stem. Some of them feel crunchy but I know I’m not giving it too much light. I know I’m not under watering it. I also don’t think I’m overwatering - there isn’t a drainage hole but I never water if the soil is moist. Today I noticed these white spots all over my leaves. (Not part of the polka dot pattern). They don’t rub off it’s as if the leaf is turning white. I do have new growth but as soon as the new leaf unfolds it also begins to get really damaged edges. Almost all the beautiful red color on the underside of the leaves is gone. The more research I do the more and more I feel like it could be a million things. Some of them that could kill my plant soon, some that just need addressed eventually but I don’t know at what point I need to be concerned that my plant is actually dying or is just needing more water, light, soil, fertilizer.
