Vampire Slayer Begonia
Part of the Emma’s Evolution collector series — three extraordinary Begonias curated for their exceptional character and rare foliage.
Dark, dramatic, and undeniably striking — the Vampire Slayer Begonia commands attention the moment it enters a room. Its deep, velvety leaves shimmer with a dark silver overlay that catches light in unexpected ways, creating an almost metallic, otherworldly effect. This is a plant for collectors who want something that feels intentional, rare, and genuinely unlike anything else on a shelf.
Care Guide
- Care Level: Intermediate
- Light: Bright indirect light. Avoid direct sun, which can fade the dramatic dark foliage.
- Water: Allow the top inch of soil to dry between waterings. Begonias are susceptible to root rot — never let them sit in standing water.
- Humidity: Moderate to high humidity preferred (50%+). Avoid misting directly on leaves to prevent spotting.
- Temperature: 65–80°F (18–27°C). Keep away from cold drafts.
- Feeding: Fertilize monthly in spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength.
- Soil: Well-draining mix — a blend of potting soil, perlite, and orchid bark works well.
- Propagation: Leaf or stem cuttings in spring.
- Common Pests: Watch for mealybugs and fungus gnats.
