Begonia Black Fancy

Begonia Black Fancy is a striking hybrid begonia that lives up to its name with deep, near-black foliage and an air of dramatic elegance. An intermediate-climate hybrid selected and grown by Ecuagenera in Ecuador, this begonia is as bold as it is beautiful — its dark, lustrous leaves create a stunning contrast in any indoor garden, terrarium, or shaded patio display.

Care Guide

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. The dark foliage intensifies in good light, but direct sun should be avoided to prevent leaf burn.
• Temperature: Best suited to intermediate conditions, ideally 16–24°C (61–75°F). Protect from cold drafts and frost.
• Humidity: Thrives with moderate to high humidity (50–70%). Misting or a humidity tray will help maintain ideal moisture levels.
• Watering: Allow the top of the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Consistent moisture is key, but avoid waterlogging to prevent root rot.
• Soil: Use a light, well-draining potting mix with good organic content for optimal growth.
• Fertilizing: Apply a balanced liquid fertilizer every 2–4 weeks during the active growing season.

With its moody, sophisticated foliage, Begonia Black Fancy is a conversation piece that adds depth and drama to any plant collection. Whether displayed solo or grouped with other tropical beauties, this hybrid is sure to turn heads — a true fancy find from the heart of Ecuador.
