Begonias are notoriously fussy and are prone to die back or ‘melting’ when shipped. We pack with care but expect some level of die back when you receive the plant. With appropriate care the plant will grow back stronger and be more suited to the conditions you provide. Only purchase if you are confident in your ability to care for this plant.
