Begonia Phantom Lime

Begonia ‘Phantom Lime’ is a dramatic rex begonia prized for its velvety charcoal-black foliage illuminated by vivid lime-green markings that radiate from the centre like glowing flames. The broad, textured leaves create a bold, almost luminous contrast, while subtle burgundy tones beneath the foliage add richness and depth. Fine hairs along the leaf edges soften the dramatic colouring, giving the plant an exotic, almost otherworldly appearance.

Water: Keep soil lightly moist and well-draining; allow the surface to dry slightly between watering
