Begonia Rex Black Velvet is a striking houseplant known for its dark, velvety, and intricate foliage. While they can be a bit particular, providing the right conditions will help them thrive.

Here’s a detailed care guide for Begonia Rex Black Velvet :

Key Care Requirements:

Light: Begonia Rex ‘Black Velvet’ thrives in bright, indirect light.
- Indoors: Place it near an east- or west-facing window, or a few feet back from a south-facing window.
- Avoid: Direct sun, as it can scorch the leaves and cause them to lose their vibrant color. They can also do well under fluorescent grow lights.
Watering: Begonias are sensitive to both overwatering and underwatering.
- Rule of Thumb: Water when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch.
- Avoid: Getting water on the leaves, as it can lead to powdery mildew and other fungal diseases. Water at the base of the plant.
- Prevention: Ensure the pot has a drainage hole to prevent water from collecting at the bottom and causing root rot.
Humidity: These plants are native to tropical environments and require high humidity to flourish.
- Ideal Level: 50% or higher.
- Methods:
  - Use a pebble tray filled with water beneath the pot (make sure the pot isn’t sitting directly in the water).
  - Group it with other plants to create a humid microclimate.
  - Use a room humidifier.
- Signs of Low Humidity: Brown, crispy leaf edges or curled leaves.

Soil: Use a well-draining, light, and airy potting mix.
- Recommended Mix: A peat-based potting soil mixed with perlite or vermiculite to improve aeration and drainage. This will prevent the soil from becoming waterlogged.
Fertilizer: Feed your plant during the active growing season (spring and summer).
- Frequency: Use a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer diluted to half or quarter strength every 2-4 weeks.
- Avoid: Fertilizing in the fall and winter when the plant’s growth slows down.
Temperature: Begonia Rex ‘Black Velvet’ prefers warm, consistent temperatures.
- Ideal Range: Between $60 - 7 5^{\circ} F$ ( $15 - 2 4^{\circ} C$ ).
- Avoid: Cold drafts, sudden temperature changes, and temperatures below $5 0^{\circ} F$ ( $1 0^{\circ} C$ ).

Other Tips:

Pruning: Remove any dead or yellowing leaves to encourage new growth and keep the plant healthy.
Repotting: Rex Begonias grow from a shallow, knobby rhizome, so they prefer wide, shallow pots. Repot every 1-2 years or when the plant becomes root-bound.
Pests and Diseases: Be on the lookout for common pests like spider mites, mealybugs, and aphids. Powdery mildew is a common fungal issue, which can be prevented by avoiding getting water on the leaves and ensuring good air circulation.
