Help with Begonia Rex

Hi begonia addicts.

I got 2 beautiful begonia rexes at a local plant shop 2 weeks ago, put them in a non direct sunlight window under grow lights and they've slowly died.

Today I went back. Picked 2 more up of the same: ruby red kiss and fireworks. And am hoping not to repeat the same mistake I have tried putting different begonia rexes in my greenhouse and they've melted within days. I have 4 rexes doing awesome in the greenhouse. I want to eventually put these ones i just bought in the greenhouse but the trouble I had with several other rexes melting when I put them in here makes me wary.

Any advice appreciated.

Thanks so much.

Pics of the rexes I got today next to the ones I got 2 weeks ago and pic of the rexes in my greenhouse with alocasia and purple shield.

Ps forgot to include these other 2. The green escargot looking rex I also got 2 weeks ago at the same time as the ruby red kiss and fireworks. It is doing better. But not by much. It's definitely not dry. The black one I also got today from a different store.

How to not repeat the same issue. Really want these guys to thrive.

Thanks again
