Fur? What's that on a plant? Like a fuzzy leaf? It was more than likely a mildew infection at one point. "Was" being the operative word. That doesn't mean that the spores aren't still lurking around on the surface of the leaves, soil, stems, pot, and anywhere else. Bathrooms, basements, and garages are infamous for mildew (damp, cool spots). Leaves are expendable but when you start seeing mildew on the canes then you really need to be on the defense to get it under control else it will eventually set back the plant or kill it. I saw a Lynda Dawn on my porch years ago develop mildew (or some other fungus) and I did not act in time - it killed the plant in a few weeks. There are many safe(r) remedies to treat mildew/fungus such as Neem oil, Milstop, and I switched to Orchard Spray which is pyrethrin (insecticide) and sulfur (fungicide) and while mildew is always present and can rear its ugly head, I have a lot more success by being a little more proactive. Watering when needed as been a boon for me. Begonia Sinbad is notorious for mildew in fall/winter. Last year I barely watered it and no spraying. It came out this past winter with flying colors whereas in the past it would probably be dead or close to it.

the excoriation on the tips of some of the leaves were from my cat. I'm wondering they there are random wesr spots, browning tips and the red color splotches . It also seems to have faded. Any diagnosis and advice appreciated.

Hi! My begonia plant has been pushing out new leaves in the past month, the last 4 leaves did not unfurl since the stem that held the leaf got detached from the main stem.Thia has happened 4 times now over the last mont. I'm not sure what is causing. Hoping someone can help or have encouraged this before?Added pictures in the comment section.Thanks,Joie

These types are classed as cane stemmed begonias and there is a bunch of different kinds. But the depth of coloring of the flowers of this one might help narrow it down to a specific variety comparatively quickly.
