My mom had an angel wing begonia, and I was obsessed with it. It took some hunting, but I finally found a one!
I probably should've let him acclimate to my home for a bit before I repotted, but I was just so excited lol. When I woke up today, he looked a little wilted and on the struggle a little. Lost one of the newer leaves.
Is it normal for them to get a little "transplant shock"? I've wanted this plant for so long— I don't want to lose him 😭 I know he looks a little perkier, but he doesn't feel it, and compared to yesterday, there is a difference. (Third photo was before he got sickly)
Any tips on how to help him perk back up? I am still a little newer to gardening and plants.

Yes transplant shock for begonias is very common, especially if you touched the root system at all. Just recently I had wonderful success saving 2 of my rec begonias from shock with “super thrive”. I got it off amazon. I’ll never repot without it
Same company also makes a “super thrive foliage”, that is not the one I’m talking about. Although I do use the foliage one on my other plants, my alocasias especially love it.
