Wax begonia leaves look bad...

I have a pot of WBs that I've overwintered twice(they make a beautiful houseplant in the winter with deep green leaves and few flowers that I pinch out). They're in a hanging pot getting morning sun/afternoon shade. Last year they looked great in the same spot. This year, while blooming profusely, the leaves are much less green and kind of ratty-looking. I changed out most of the soil with new potting mix like I did last year and feed with weak MG occasionally. We have gotten much more rain so far this summer, but I move them under the eaves when the bad storms roll in to keep them from being battered. Have the plants, 3 in the pot down from 4 to give more root space, just run their course, or am I doing something wrong?

Any advice is appreciated.
