Begonia Maculata Black Forrest | Indoor House P...

Begonia 'Black Forest' is a brooding rhizomatous begonia cloaked in some of the darkest foliage the genus has to offer. Broad, slightly puckered leaves emerge in deep forest green and mature to near-black, overlaid with ghostly silver markings that catch the light like moonlight on dark water. Begonia 'Black Forest' is a modern hybrid begonia developed for ornamental houseplant use, drawing on rhizomatous species native to the humid rainforests of the Americas and Southeast Asia, where darker-leafed begonias grow on deeply shaded, leaf-littered forest floors.

Care Guide

The Begonia Maculata Black Forest thrives in bright indirect light — a spot near a window with filtered light will keep its dramatic dark leaves and white spots looking their best. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry, and always ensure the pot has good drainage to prevent root rot, as this begonia is sensitive to overwatering. It loves humidity, so mist the leaves occasionally or place a humidifier nearby. Keep it away from direct sunlight, cold drafts, and air conditioning vents, which can cause leaf browning and stress.
