Should I trim the brown tips off my plant?

You can leave the brown tips and the plant will continue to grow, but if you want to trim the brown off then that is fine. Make sure to cut just above where the brown starts, no need to take off more unless the whole leaf is dying. The brown tips are usually from a watering problem, so make sure to keep the plant consistently moist.

Begonia maculata 'Wightii', Polka Dot Begonia, Clown Begonia, Trout Begonia, Spotted Begonia, Angel Wing Begonia, houseplant, Interesting Foliage Plant, ContainerSize: 3.5"

The Begonia maculata, also known as Polka Dot Begonia, is a beautiful indoor plant that comes in a 4" pot that includes a heat pack. The plant is generally healthy and well taken care of, although some leaves may drop during transit, which is common for shipped plants. The roots may come suffocated by fabric mesh, but removing it will help the plant to grow. However, some customers have reported negative experiences with this product, with some receiving damaged or broken plants due to poor packaging during shipping. Others have reported that the plant arrived looking tough and losing leaves, despite following the seller's instructions. While the overall quality of the plant seems good, the shipping and packing may need improvement.

Pros

Healthy and well taken care of plant
Comes with a heat pack for safe shipping
Root ball may be inspected before purchase
Thriving for some customers

Cons

Poor packaging during shipping may result in damaged or broken plants
Plant may arrive looking tough and losing leaves despite following instructions
Roots may come suffocated by fabric mesh during shipment
