Begonia Black Magic 6"

Begonia 'Black Magic'

The Begonia 'Black Magic' is a striking houseplant known for its unique, deeply lobed leaves that feature an enchanting dark green to almost black hue, accentuated by a subtle sheen. 

The leaves of the 'Black Magic' begonia are thick and waxy, which helps retain moisture and adds to its resilience. With proper care, this plant can grow to a height of about 12 to 18 inches, providing a lush, tropical feel to any indoor space.

Light: This begonia thrives in bright, indirect light. It is essential to avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves. A well-lit room or a spot near a window with filtered light is ideal for maintaining its vibrant foliage.

Watering: The 'Black Magic' prefers consistently moist soil but not soggy conditions. Water the plant when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch, ensuring that excess water drains out to prevent root rot.

Fertilizer: During the growing season, a balanced liquid fertilizer can be applied every four to six weeks to support healthy growth and vibrant foliage.
