Features:

  • Unique Leaf Appearance: The leaves of Begonia Black Mountain are predominantly deep green to black, with deeply bullate (pitted or cratered) surfaces. The rich dark color creates a dramatic and eye-catching look.

  • Bold, Textured Foliage: The deeply textured surface of the leaves, combined with the deep green to black coloration, gives this begonia a natural, artistic quality. Its striking foliage resembles a living piece of art, perfect for any indoor space.

  • Compact Growth Habit: Begonia Black Mountain has a rhizomatous, clump-forming, and bushy growth pattern, making it ideal for decorative pots and an excellent focal point in home or office settings.

Care Tips for Begonia Black Mountain:

  • Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. While it can tolerate some direct sunlight, excessive exposure may scorch the leaves and reduce their vibrancy. Keep it in a spot with filtered light for optimal growth.

  • Temperature: Thrives in temperatures between 18°C and 24°C (65°F to 75°F), making it perfect for typical indoor environments.

  • Humidity: Requires high humidity, ideally above 60%. For best results, place it in a terrarium or other high-humidity environments like bathrooms or kitchens. Consider using humidity trays to maintain moisture levels.

  • Watering: Water when the top 2-3 cm (about an inch) of soil becomes dry. Avoid watering directly on the leaves to prevent rot and fungal growth.

  • Soil: Use a well-draining, slightly acidic soil mix such as peat, perlite, and vermiculite to ensure proper moisture retention and healthy root development.
