Begonia Chocolate Cone

Begonia Chocolate Cone is a striking hybrid begonia, highly valued for its dramatic foliage. Its wing-shaped leaves display a deep, chocolate-green base adorned with bold silver spots, creating a starry, eye-catching pattern. The undersides often show shades of burgundy or purple, offering a vivid contrast that enhances its ornamental appeal.

Care Tips:

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid direct midday sun, which may scorch the leaves.

• Watering: Keep the soil lightly moist but not soggy. Allow the top layer of soil to dry slightly between waterings. Avoid letting water sit on the leaves.

• Humidity: Enjoys moderate to high humidity (around 50–70%). Consider using a humidity tray or placing it near other plants if your indoor air is dry.

• Soil: Use a loose, well-draining mix (such as peat moss, perlite, and orchid bark) to prevent root rot.

• Temperature: Best grown in warm conditions, ideally between 18–26 °C (65–78 °F). Protect from drafts and sudden temperature drops.

• Fertilizer: Feed every 4–6 weeks during the growing season (spring–summer) with a balanced, diluted liquid fertilizer. Reduce feeding in fall and winter.

• Pruning: Trim old or damaged leaves to encourage healthy new growth and maintain shape.
