Variant

Begonia Maculata Black Forest, is a dramatic dark foliaged cane Begonia prized for its nearly black leaves, silvery spotting, and rich burgundy undersides. Its asymmetrical, wing shaped foliage emerges deep olive to forest green and matures to an intense near black tone, creating a moody backdrop for the bright silver white speckling scattered across each leaf. Ruffled, lightly serrated edges and bamboo like stems add even more texture, while the red backed foliage creates flashes of colour as the leaves move. With its combination of dark velvety colour, ghostly silver markings, and classic Angel Wing form, Begonia Maculata Black Forest is a standout choice for collectors who love dramatic Begonias.

What to expect

The plant comes with a default nursery pot. The nursery pot is usually 0.5" - 1" smaller than stated to fit into the same size decorative pot. Washable Paper Planter Bags are sold separately.

As with all living things, no two plants are alike. There is some natural variation in size, shape, and characteristics. We make every effort to bring you a plant that as closely as possible matches the plant as it appears on our website, in the size you have chosen, and have a good potential to happily grow in your home.

Care Guide

How to take care of Begonia Maculata Black Forest

Sun: Indirect

Begonia Maculata Black Forest should not be in a position to see the sun directly, although early morning or late evening sun is fine. Filtered sunlight through a sheer curtain is best and most homes are comprised primarily of indirect sunlight. The best spot for them is where they do not see the sun during the majority of the day but still get bright, indirect light.

Light: Medium - Bright

Begonia Maculata Black Forest will thrive in bright light, but also can tolerate medium light. A good medium-light place in your home would be in the middle of a room that has a regular size window. They can be placed anywhere between the middle of the room and the window. Remember that plants will grow based on how much light they receive.

Water: When half dry

Begonia Maculata Black Forest needs to be watered when the top half of the soil is dry to the touch. That usually takes about 1 week in an average home environment. It will vary depending on the time of year, your environment and lighting conditions, but it's always safer to underwater or give the soil a check before you water again.

Humidity: High

Begonia Maculata Black Forest likes a high humidity environment, but avoid misting most Begonias as this can lead to powdery mildew. Alternatively, you can put them around a humidifier. Although they won't die if they don't receive enough humidity, their leaves may have some dry, crunchy, or yellow edges.

Pet Caution

Begonia Maculata Black Forest is moderately toxic and can cause some adverse reactions when ingested so it is best to not let your pets eat it, which we advise for all plants in general. The severity of the reaction will depend on how much of the plant is ingested but, if you know your pet typically does not eat your plants, this plant will be suitable for your home.

About Begonia Maculata Black Forest

Botanical Name: Begonia maculata ‘Black Forest’

Common Name: Begonia Black Forest, Black Forest Polka Dot Begonia, Dark Angel Wing Begonia

Origin: Cultivated cane Begonia selection from Brazil

Plant Story

Introducing the Begonia maculata ‘Black Forest,’ a dark and dramatic Angel Wing Begonia that celebrates mystery, contrast, and the beauty of embracing a deeper palette. With its near-black foliage, silver spotting, and burgundy undersides, it symbolizes hidden brilliance — a reminder that even the darkest surfaces can carry their own kind of light.

Known botanically as Begonia maculata ‘Black Forest,’ this striking cane Begonia produces asymmetrical, wing-shaped leaves along upright, bamboo-like stems. The foliage emerges in deep olive to forest green before maturing into exceptionally dark tones that can appear nearly black, giving the plant a moody and sophisticated presence.

Across those dark leaves, silvery-white spots and ghostly markings catch the light with dramatic contrast. Slightly puckered surfaces, ruffled serrated edges, and rich burgundy-red undersides add even more texture, allowing flashes of color to appear whenever the foliage shifts or sways.

Its upright cane growth gives ‘Black Forest’ an architectural quality, while the spotted leaves keep the plant playful and unmistakably Begonia. The combination of nearly black foliage, metallic markings, and red-backed leaves makes it an especially striking choice for collectors who appreciate unusual color and layered detail.

Thriving in bright, indirect light with warmth, moderate to high humidity, and an airy, well-draining mix, Begonia ‘Black Forest’ prefers its soil to remain lightly moist without becoming soggy. Gentle filtered light helps preserve its rich coloration while allowing the silver markings to remain crisp and luminous.

Welcome the Begonia maculata ‘Black Forest’ into your collection, and let it inspire you with its symbolism of mystery, confidence, and hidden brilliance. It’s not just a plant; it’s a reminder that even in the deepest shades, there is always something waiting to catch the light.
