Begonia Mr. Garden is a captivating hybrid variety celebrated for its dramatic and colorful foliage. The leaves are deep-toned, almost black, and beautifully decorated with pink and white speckles scattered across the surface. Under different lighting and growing conditions, the foliage can reveal stunning shades of blue and purple, adding a dynamic, iridescent quality to the plant.
Care Tips:
Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid harsh direct sun, which can scorch the leaves or fade their colors.
Watering: Keep the soil evenly moist but never soggy. Water when the top inch (2–3 cm) of soil feels dry. Always ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.
Humidity: This variety loves moderate to high humidity (50–70%). Use a humidifier or place it near other plants to maintain moisture in the air.
Temperature: Ideal range is 18–28 °C (65–82 °F). Protect from cold drafts and sudden temperature changes.
Soil: Use a light, well-draining mix rich in organic matter — a blend of peat, perlite, and bark works well.
Fertilizer: Feed every 4–6 weeks during the growing season with a balanced, diluted fertilizer to encourage healthy foliage and vibrant color.
Maintenance: Remove old or damaged leaves to promote new growth. Avoid letting water sit on the foliage to reduce the risk of fungal spots.
