Maintenance guide

Begonia Rex Shadow King® ‘Black Cherry’

Easy to grow, but it thrives with regular care! Here’s how to give it the best conditions:

Light

Begonia Rex Shadow King Black Cherry prefers bright, indirect light or partial shade. Too much direct sunlight may scorch its delicate foliage, while softer light highlights its contrasts.

Watering

Water regularly but moderately, allowing the top of the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Avoid standing water to protect its sensitive roots.

Nutrition

Fertilize every 2 to 3 weeks with a balanced fertilizer to maintain strong foliage and enhance its deep colors.

Trim and care

Remove damaged leaves to stimulate new growth and keep the plant dense and healthy.
