Description
Begonia ‘Black Magic’
A striking foliage begonia known for its deep, dark, almost black leaves with subtle texture and rich tones that can appear burgundy in the right light. Begonia ‘Black Magic’ brings a dramatic, elegant contrast to indoor plant collections and works beautifully as a feature plant on shelves or tables. It’s all about bold foliage rather than flowers, making it a true statement piece.
Plant Care Guide
Light:
Bright, indirect light is ideal. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves and fade the dark colouring.
Watering:
Keep soil lightly moist but never soggy. Allow the top layer to dry slightly between waterings. Avoid overwatering.
Humidity:
Prefers moderate to high humidity. Low humidity may cause leaf edges to dry out.
Temperature:
Best kept between 18–26°C. Protect from cold drafts and sudden temperature drops.
Soil:
Use a well-draining, rich potting mix that retains some moisture.
Feeding:
Feed every 2–4 weeks during the growing season with a balanced liquid fertiliser.
