How can I get my Angelwing Begonia to quit dropping its leaves?

I bought this gorgeous plant about 2 months ago and had it in a window that faces south..it was in a plantstand above a floor dust for hearing and cooling. I also had a plant in the same area, but farther back from the window. The window has a light gause drape over it, si only got filtered light. The leaves started to wilt, so I moved both plants to the bathroom. Now they have lost all their leaves and are dying. I keep my house about 65 degrees and usually have the windows open. What am I doing wrong?

    1. That’s too cold. 2. Don’t do ac and open windows at the same time. 3. That’s probably not enough light, but it’s tricky. 4. You possibly watered them too much and they are getting root rot. 5. No matter you move the plants, they will need about 2-3 weeks to adjust each time. ☺️

    check to make sure how much humidity, moisture or water that plant needs. Check to see if it needs indirect light or full sun. I guess you mean it is over a duct for heating and cooling. Look up how to grow that plant in your planting zone.

    Sun penetrates through Windows. Too much Sun. Virginia's are to be planted in shade or partial sun
