Begonia 'Matcha Chocolate' is a striking ornamental plant admired for its dramatic foliage. Its broad, heart-shaped leaves display a fresh green base, delicately adorned with shimmering silver speckles and intricate silver patterns. Deep chocolate-red veins run through the center, with the same rich hue framing both the leaf’s edges and central axis. This layered contrast of green, silver, and chocolate-red creates a decadent, dessert-like appearance.

Features:

  • Fresh Green Base: Leaves present a vibrant green background.

  • Shimmering Silver Accents: Adorned with sparkling silver speckles and delicate silver patterns.

  • Chocolate-Red Contrast: Deep chocolate-red colors highlight the veins, leaf centers, and edges.

  • Layered Color Effect: The interplay of green, silver, and rich red creates a dessert-like look.

Care Tips:

  • Light: Bright, indirect light; avoid direct sun which may scorch the leaves.

  • Watering: Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top inch to dry slightly before watering again.

  • Humidity: Prefers high humidity (50–70%). Use a humidifier or place on a pebble tray if air is dry.

  • Temperature: Thrives in 18–26 °C (65–78 °F); protect from drafts and cold below 15 °C (60 °F).

  • Soil: Well-draining, airy soil mix (peat + perlite recommended).

  • Fertilizer: Feed monthly during growing season with a balanced, diluted liquid fertilizer.

  • Pruning: Remove dead or yellowing leaves to encourage healthy growth.

  • Potting: Repot every 1–2 years in spring when rootbound.
