Begonia rex 'Madagascar'

This begonia is distinguished by its dark and mysterious foliage. Its asymmetrical leaves feature a deep black center that radiates outwards to intense purple or burgundy edges, all enhanced by a velvety texture that dramatically catches the light.

• Light: Bright and indirect. Filtered light helps maintain the depth of its black and the vibrancy of its purple hues.

• Watering: Moderate; allow the topsoil to dry out between waterings. It is best to water from below to avoid wetting its delicate foliage.

• Humidity: Tolerates normal ambient humidity, although it appreciates a stable atmosphere to prevent the edges of its leaves from becoming brittle.
