Hello! My begonia dropped all its leaves one day and became a stick.

It's been several months. The stick is alive. I've repotted, fertilized, etc and nothing seems to be triggerinh leaf growth.

How do I encourage leaves?!

HI, Welcome!
I can only think brighter light might be what it is waiting for? Don't fertilize anymore, and keep barely moist. As long as it is firm and 'green' it would seem to have potential.
Plant it and they will come.

Hi & welcome! Agree. If it's hot where you are and your A/C has been on, that could be part of the issue. That kind of Begonia thrives on heat & humidity.

Love the expression on the cat's face, staring at the stem.

Fingers crossed.

You said it dropped all of its leaves in one day.
Any idea what might've caused this, any changes in in location, lighting, temp?
