Meet Begonia 'Midnight Sun'—a dramatic foliage begonia with rich, dark colour and glowing warm tones. It is all about leaf quality, so keep the light bright but filtered, the compost evenly managed and the leaves away from wet, stagnant air.

  • The Formal Name: Begonia 'Midnight Sun'
  • The Nickname: Midnight Sun Begonia
  • Roots: A cultivated foliage Begonia grown for strong colour and ornamental leaves.
  • Natural Vibe: Warm filtered light, airy compost and careful watering; beautiful but not a swamp lover.

Care Guide
  • Care Guide:
  • Sunlight: Bright filtered light keeps colour strong. Avoid direct sun, which can scorch patterned leaves.
  • Best Room: A bright shelf, warm windowside spot with filtered light or plant display away from radiators.
  • Snacks: Feed lightly in spring and summer; begonias dislike heavy salts in the compost.
  • Tropical Feels: Likes humidity, but wet leaves and stagnant air can cause spotting or mildew.
  • Cosy Factor: Keep warm, ideally 18–25°C, and avoid cold draughts.
  • Thirst: Water when the top layer starts to dry. Keep lightly moist but never waterlogged.
  • Safety First: Not pet-safe – Begonia can irritate pets if chewed, especially around stems and roots.
  • The Bedding: Use a light, free-draining houseplant mix with perlite.
  • Family Tree: Leaf or stem cuttings, depending on growth type, root well in warm bright conditions.
  • Space Needs: Give leaves room and avoid crowding against other plants.
  • Speed: Moderate in warmth and good light.
  • Uninvited Guests: Watch for powdery mildew, fungus gnats, mealybug and thrips.
  • Moving Day: Repot when roots fill the pot, using a shallow breathable mix.
  • Haircut: Remove damaged leaves and spent flower stems if produced.
  • Fresh Air: Good airflow is important, especially around dark foliage.
  • Plant Lore: Many foliage begonias show their best colour when light is bright but never harsh.
