That's right. It's not a rex begonia, it is rhizomatous. It's been around for decades and is pretty hardy - it grows well in normal household conditions and endures all sorts of neglect. Mine is alive and kicking for over 20 years now.
You have a nice assortment of black plants! Your Begonia Arabian sunset is my favorite. I have a few dark plants that are standing out to me too, like the Columnea gloriosa, the Tradescantia baby bunny bellies and tradescantia navicularis.😊
I am soooo impressed with your polly! I've killed so many over the years and i haven't been able to keep a single alocasia alive that long. I'm obsessed though so i keep trying
A few months ago I stumbled on a Alocasia chienlii antoro velvet, think you'll like that one. The leaves are really dark green and purple on the back 😁
I put my ZZ Raven outside in a shaded west light area over the growing season and it gave me 5 new stems over the 2.5 months it was outside. I was shocked how fast it grew with more light 😅
I love the goth aesthetic and I love all of these plants! I only have a Polly but a ZZ Raven has been on my wish list for a while. And those cane begonias are so striking, I might just get a bunch of them. I didn’t like the look of cane begonias before but all these dark ones are calling me 😄
Yea the first one. I kill it. But got me a second one. Is growing so good love love it. And yea they love water. Just don't over do it. I'm trailing it
Hi Emma, Congratulations on becoming a Mrs, you looked beautiful x, and black is beautiful too, on your Alocasia, i am pretty sure its not a polly, the Amazonica is the original form and grows mahusive lol, the polly is the jewel hybrid of the amazonica, and the banbino is the mini form, i have an amazonica and a polly and they grow very differently, the polly grows much slower and stays small ish, and the amazonica sizes up much faster, and more forgiving lol, on a sidenote my oxalis is the blackest plant i have, its a gothic beauty, but hates uk winters, its trying to go dormant, i love watching your videos, how are you going with Kaylee Allens plant crack lol, any results yet, im scared to stop giving it to my girls, they might linch me, Little Shop of Horrors style lol x
The second begonia you have identified as black mamba is a begonia mazae var. nigricans. Capable of quite nice iridescence. Pretty :)

My new fav black / super dark green plant (with new leaves being burgundy) is Philodendron Black cardinal
Wow. That Polly is huge and very admirable!
I love the fun Halloween vibes video!

I really love that last begonia, it reminds me of a starry sky
Gosh this collection is making my plant ban very difficult! I think I'll start a black blood red collection next year.
Thanks for sharing your beautiful black plants 😀👻🇨🇦
Wow, that Polly!

I just picked up a pelliona pulchra because of it's dark and moody vibes. I thought perfect for Halloween!
I’m really enjoying the look of my syngonium red arrow this spooky season! 😃Thank you for this fun video!
ZZ Raven is so cool. I'm not actually drawn to the green ZZ, but the Raven is so intriguing and weird that I can't help but prefer it over the green.
literally same! I feel like the main thing it has going for it is that it's black 🖤
Omg I’m so happy I found someone like meee!!!! I’ve been growing my collection and I’m at 50 dark beauties
The last one was my fave!!🖤
P.S., sending you positive vibes to counteract the negative rude comment from the person who doesn't like your voice 😂so petty, one love x
Now I need some black plants.
I love a black plant video!
I have a black velvet which I love and those begonias though I prefer Rex to cane 🤷♀️ thanks Emma xx

You said his name three times... 😮😮😮😮
Why don't I ever see a gryphon begonia??
It doesn’t have black leaves? lol.
Jesus LOVES you. and am sure you know it.
dont like to listen all video to a monotone voice. cya
🙄 yet you still watched 😊
@@Dianaaa_s nope, just react in comments.
Don’t like to read pointlessly negative comments but here we are.
I think it’s the fake/inappropriate laughter that gets to me. But, i still enjoy the content so i continue to watch.
Haters really have nothing better to do? Yikes your life must be sad
Not a Black Majesty in the bunch. The ultimate goth plant.
or a dark lord Philodendron
