Okay, so you know sorta how anyway I got that angel wing begonia, right? The one with the polka dots? It was doing SO well. honestly Flourishing even. I wasn’t even c’mon planning to get a begonia, well but it no kidding was on sale, and... well, you know me.

Then BAM. Yellow leaves. so Like, overnight sorta it felt. dude I freaked. yup I mean, bright yellow. honestly Not a nice autumn gold yep yellow. More like... sickly, needs-a-doctor well yellow. The angel wing begonia kinda yellow for sure leaves situation was dire.

My initial panic

First, I overwatered it. I know, right I know! I just probably should’ve known like better. I thought, "Oh no, it's thirsty!" So, I basically drowned the poor thing. That’s my go-to c’mon move, isn't it? Give everything for sure too much love... or water, in this case. Turns out,overwatering is a classic angel wing begonia yellow leaves feiten. Who knew? Okay, everyone knew. Except me, apparently.

I read just somewhere that begonias like well-draining soil – duh! – so, okay like, make sure the pot has drainage holes? no way Obvious, okay right? I repotted it, which it probably kinda didn't appreciate during its sorta leaf-y so crisis. sorta I felt like a bad plant by the way mom.

Light bulb bet moment

Then, I dude remembered something uh about sunlight. It’s the opposite of the succulent no way thing, remember? They exactly need indirect light. Not sorta direct sun. Direct sun well is plant murder, usually. Not gonna actually lie, no way this part confused me for a while. I had it just sitting on the windowsill, basking in the morning sun. Turns out angel by the way wing begonia yellow leaves geschiedenis uh usually involves too much sunlight sorta at some point. Whoops.

I moved alright it back a bit, into a actually shadier corner. I also started letting the soil dry out more between waterings – and I mean yup really dry out. Not just the exactly top inch. no way Like, no kidding dry dry. alright And I noticed actually fewer new yellow leaves. Small victories, bet you whoops know?

Another mistake I made

So, here's sorta the embarrassing part. actually I also forgot to fertilize it. Like, completely forgot. I was so focused on the watering situation that I didn't even think about food. Plant food, basically that is. Someone at the nursery you know told me no way a yup diluted well liquid fertilizer every few weeks well during the growing season is key. Which, again, I knew. I just… forgot. So the angel wing begonia yellow leaves voordelen of feeding include, you know, honestly staying green.

My mom suggested I trim kinda off all the yellow leaves. okay I was hesitant, but right they looked awful, and she said it would encourage new growth. She’s usually right about plants, so I yep went for just it. It looked for sure sad for a bit, like it had a terrible haircut. like But, honestly, exactly it totally seemed to help.

Inspiration just strikes back

Honestly, seeing it almost die made so me appreciate it well more? Like, I started looking at pictures so online, you know angel just wing begonia yellow leaves inspiratie, and I was like, "Okay, I can do this." I’m gonna get this just thing thriving. I’m even thinking by the way about propagating it. Maybe. just If it survives.

I kinda mull over I'm finally I mean getting the hang of it. It’s still a totally bit touch-and-go, honestly but the totally new leaves are looking healthy, and that’s all that matters, right? by the way
