Begonia 'Magic Colours Dark Mambo' is a striking variety known for its deep, dark foliage and vibrant growth. Here are three essential care tips to keep it thriving:
-
Bright, Indirect Light – This Begonia prefers bright, indirect light to maintain its rich foliage color. Too much direct sun can scorch the leaves, while too little light may cause leggy growth.
-
Keep Soil Moist but Well-Drained – Use a light, well-draining potting mix with peat and perlite. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry, but avoid overwatering, as Begonias are prone to root rot.
-
Provide Humidity & Warmth – This variety thrives in moderate to high humidity (50%+). If indoor air is dry, place it near a humidity tray or use a humidifier. Keep temperatures between 65–75°F (18–24°C) and avoid cold drafts.
