Where’s it from?

A hybrid bred for its striking foliage, Inca Night belongs to the vast Begonia family, which hails from tropical and subtropical regions worldwide.

Watering

Keep the soil evenly moist but never soggy—let the top inch dry out before watering again. Begonias hate wet feet, so make sure your pot has great drainage to avoid root rot. Water more in spring and summer, then ease up in the cooler months.

Light

Thrives in bright, indirect light! Too much direct sun? The leaves can scorch. Too little? That stunning color may fade. A north- or east-facing window is ideal.

Humidity

Loves high humidity—think rainforest vibes! Boost moisture with a humidity tray, misting, or a humidifier. Avoid placing it near radiators or vents, which can dry it out and cause crispy edges.

Temperature

Happiest in 18°C to 24°C—keep it warm and cozy! Avoid drafts and don’t let it drop below 15°C in winter to prevent stress.

Extra TLC

• Trim any yellowing or damaged leaves to keep it looking sharp.
• Feed every few weeks in the growing season (spring to early autumn) with a diluted, balanced liquid fertilizer to encourage lush, healthy growth.
• Repot every 1–2 years to refresh the soil and give the roots more space.
