Not sure what i did if i did anything. The plant is in a south facing window and the temp is around 65 degrees f. I am including a pic. I was planning on splitting it in the spring into two plants. Any suggestions what may be wrong?
thanks

Did this happen overnight or slowly? Have you taken it out of the pot to check the roots to see if they're healthy? Have you set it down in a bowl of warm water to see if it absorbs any?

It's possible the rootball may have hardened and even though you continue to water from the top, the roots aren't able to absorb.

I have had luck using a meat fork (the kind with just two tines) to poke holes around a plant to loosen up the soil. Then I set the plant in a bowl of tepid water to rehydrate the soil.

Good luck and keep us posted (pun intended!)

If it is dry then Linda is giving you good advice.

Deep pots are okay if you don't overwater, else I would go with a shallow one since it is harder to keep wet. The nice thing about deep pots or larger pots is it gives the plant room to grow to its potential, but you have to pay attention to the watering.

How long does it take affect for the water to help the plant? What type of fertilise should I use and how often? Alos if I'm planning on splitting the plant will this have any effect on its health?
thanks

I had a begonia get really thirsty just today and it perked back up within five or ten minutes of sitting in the water.

I fertilize with half-strength Dyna-Gro. I've never divided rhizos. I just put them in bigger pots. :-) Someday my husband will walk into my office and be unable to find me!

Here's B. 'Purple Snow' which has a more "drooping" growth. It's not thirsty. When it is, the middle stems flop over too.
