Begonia 'Black Mamba' is a dramatic rex-type begonia with deep charcoal-black foliage and fine serrated edges. The leaves have a velvety matte texture that shifts subtly in tone depending on the light, giving this variety a bold and moody presence. Ideal as a feature foliage plant for indoor bright shade.

  • Leaf Texture: Velvety matte surface with subtle sheen in bright filtered light.
  • Growth Habit: Compact mounding form.
  • Seasonality: Evergreen indoors; strongest growth in warmer seasons.
  • Flowers: Small pink or pale blooms may appear intermittently.

Care

  • Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity. Avoid misting directly onto the leaves.
  • Temperature: Warm indoor temperatures (18-28°C). Sensitive to cold drafts and sudden drops in temperature.
  • Media: Free-draining mix with added perlite or fine bark for aeration.
