usually a totally droopy plant will come back after some intense watering. (i leave pots in a saucer/small bowl of water for at least 15-30 minutes of bottom watering).

it's sad, but most of the big stems are usually toast at this point and generally look like heck--getting crispy margins, black spots etc. the plant will put out new growth after it perks up, but go ahead and trim off some of the worst older leaves.

Thanks, Ming; as always, your help is appreciated.

I will get out the scissors and do better with what's left of these begonias.
