Begonia 'Black Mountain'
Begonia ‘Black Mountain’ is a dramatic rex begonia with exceptionally dark foliage in rich shades of charcoal-purple, burgundy and near-black. The large spiralled leaves have a velvety texture with subtle metallic silver highlights and deeply pronounced veining, creating a luxurious, almost gothic appearance.
The undersides of the foliage are often flushed deep wine-red, adding extra contrast and depth as the leaves catch the light. Compact and bushy in habit, this striking begonia makes a perfect statement plant for shelves, tabletops or darker-themed indoor plant collections.
Ideal for bright indoor spaces with filtered light, it brings bold texture and rich colour to modern interiors while remaining relatively compact and manageable.
- Other names: Rex Begonia ‘Black Mountain’
- Useful to know: Toxic if ingested - not safe for pets and children
- Eventual height: 20-30cm
- Origins: Cultivated rex begonia hybrid
Begonia Care Sheet
Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sun, which can scorch the delicate leaves. Artificial grow lights are suitable for maintaining colour and pattern.
Water: Keep soil lightly moist but never soggy. Water when the top layer feels just dry to the touch. Use lukewarm, soft water where possible.
Soil/Nutrition: Use a well-draining mix with added perlite, bark, or coco coir. Feed lightly every 4–6 weeks in spring and summer with a diluted fertiliser.
Humidity: High humidity (60%+) is essential. Ideal for terrariums or enclosed cabinets. Avoid placing near cold draughts or radiators.
Pruning and propagation: Pinch back stems to encourage bushier growth. Propagate easily from stem or leaf cuttings in moist substrate.
Experience level: Intermediate.
