This culture pack includes 5 Begonia Darth Vader tissue culture. It comes in agar gel and is ready to acclimate to its new jungle.

Begonia ‘Darth Vader’ is a striking foliage begonia celebrated for its deep, near-black leaves and intense, moody presence. The elongated, sharply pointed foliage features rich charcoal to jet-black tones with subtle texture and sheen, giving this plant an unmistakably dramatic, almost otherworldly look.

Compact yet powerful in appearance, Begonia Darth Vader thrives as a tabletop or terrarium-friendly statement plant. Its dark foliage creates stunning contrast against lighter plants, making it a favorite among collectors who love bold, unconventional color palettes. Under proper lighting, the leaves develop even deeper tones, enhancing its signature “dark side” aesthetic.

This begonia prefers stable conditions and rewards attentive care with lush, velvety growth that feels more like living art than a typical houseplant.

Watch our step-by-step video instructions on our How To Acclimate Your Tissue Culture blog!

• Step 1- Do not do anything to the culture for 1-2 days to allow them to adjust to the temperature in their new environment
• Step 2- Open the package & wash the agar jelly off the plant as thoroughly as possible. We strongly recommend using running water. A small paint brush can be gently used to assist with the cleaning process. This is one of the most important steps of the process.
• Step 3- Plant your cultures in the medium of your choice. We recommend a chunky blend of coco husk & perlite. We utilize acclimation plugs although there are many great mediums available.
• Step 4- Place them into a clear sealed package (container or plastic bag). Within 24-hours your container will have water droplets forming, which will confirm the container is at 100% humidity.
• Step 5-Place under a grow lights for between 8 & 14 hours a day
• Step 6- Leave plants covered for the first 7 days.  The following 7 to 10 days slowly expose plants to ambient air. Each day exposing the plants to slightly more air until fully acclimated. 

Our acclimation kits will contain all of the tools necessary for success. Just add water & grow lights to the simple acclimation process to produce healthy acclimated plants!
