Summary: Stunning, velvety dark foliage with contrasting silver veins makes this 25 cm-high Rex begonia a show‑stopping accent in any German apartment while being effortless to care for.
Thrives in bright, indirect light commonly found near north or east-facing windows in European homes. Avoid direct midday sun to protect its foliage from burning.
Keep evenly moist but never waterlogged—water when top 1–2 cm of soil feels slightly dry. Prefers 50–70 % humidity—ideal for kitchens or bathrooms; misting or pebble tray helps in dry rooms.
Plant in a peat-free, well-draining mix enriched with perlite. Repot every 1–2 years to refresh nutrients and support steady growth.
Non-toxic to cats and dogs—safe around curious paws and snouts.
Grows slowly into a lush clump ~30 cm wide. Propagate easily via leaf or stem cuttings—perfect for creating new plants to share!
Reduce watering in winter. Remove yellowing leaves promptly. During spring and summer, pinch off spent stems to encourage bushier growth.
Begonia rex hybrids are bred for extraordinary foliage, and ‘Dark Mambo’ stands out with deep tones and metallic veins. A micro‑jungle treasure that adds artistic flair to modern interiors.

I am genuinely impressed with my Maranta leuconeura—it’s one of the happiest plants in my collection! It arrived healthy and vibrant, with rich green leaves and those signature red veins that make it such a showstopper. But what really blew me away is how quickly it started growing.
The shipping was quick and smooth, and you can really tell the seller took care to protect the plant during transit.
I couldn’t be happier with my Calathea makoyana! It arrived in perfect condition, well-packaged, with no damage to the leaves or soil.
This was my first time ordering a plant online, and the whole experience was smooth and professional. I’ll definitely be coming back for more! Highly recommend for anyone looking to add a statement plant to their indoor jungle.
Perfect little baby plant, already well rooted and pushing new leaves. Arrived timely and in good condition.
