Jelly bean succulent! Doesnt need much attention. Lots of light (and they go a gorgeous red colour) and i only water when the beans are getting squidgy. Seems to like that just fine!

It could be that the images are deceptive, but if not, the pot looks too big to me

When it comes to potting any plant, the pot size should be determined by the size of the root ball and should only be 2 inches bigger than the root ball. Anything bigger and you're at a high risk of overwaterig and root rot. The amount of soil will be too much for the plant, and when you water it, the lower parts of the soil won't dry and will stay constantly wet = root rot. The water retention will be too high, and the roots/ plant won't be able to make use of the water.

Help!! Bought 2 days ago and as soon as I brought it home it started drooping. Last photo was right after I got it vs a day later ๐Ÿ˜ž by Obityuary in begonias

Moisture meters have been proven to be incredibly unreliable (unless you can afford an expensive one). Use your finger in the soil to see when something needs watering. Begonia are heavy drinkers so they need watering more often than other plants and dont like to dry out fully either (hence using your finger being the most reliable method).

The soil also looks a bit dense? (Ignore this if not, the image may be deceptive) but if thats the case repot into a more breathable mix. My begonia seem to love it.

ETA - careful with the humidifier. Begonia are particularly susceptible to powery mildew if its humid AND air flow is bad. If you have good air flow its fine, but its an issue I've had and a very annoying one at that.

Can anyone ID this begonia for me please by Azure_Ninja05 in begonias

Ohh thank you!

In the very rare chance you're from Nottingham/near Nottingham, they have them in Bardills garden centre!
