Darth Vader Begonia (Begonia sp. ‘Darth Vader’)
A rare gem for collectors, the Darth Vader Begonia is named for its striking, otherworldly foliage that mirrors the dark mystique of its namesake. Its deep maroon to almost black leaves are velvety to the touch and contrasted by electric green veining and a subtle iridescent sheen under the light. Native to Borneo’s humid understory, this begonia thrives in terrariums or high-humidity environments where its dramatic beauty can truly shine. Compact and slow-growing, it’s perfect for showcasing in glass vessels, adding a moody elegance to any plant collection.
Care Tip: Loves high humidity (70–90%) and low to moderate light. Keep soil moist but not soggy. Best suited for experienced growers or those with terrarium setups.
