BEST DARK FOLIAGE PLANTS

[@samanthanavarro68]

I have a Raven ZZ and a Burgundy Rubber plant that both have dark foliage they are so beautiful!

[@kenishahammond3935]

Yes very beautiful plants!

[@ceewood3358]

I just got my first ZZ Raven this year, 2022, at Walmart for $18.99. It's a nice big size and I'm So excited to start my Dark Leaves collection!! Thanks for the info!

[@agoogleuser5039]

The tiny shoot on your Raven is like a cotyledon. Cotyledons are the first leaves after germination and their function is to get photosynthesising so they can produce energy for the plant to grow more shoots. This is why you may find these shoots can just suddenly die - as they are not needed once the plant sends out the real leaves. So maybe that is a new rhizome there! How old is your Raven, do you know? They have only been in Australia for a couple of years and none are very big yet.

Oh amazing! I will keep an eye out then! I've had this one for about 2 years but I'm not sure how old it was before I had it :)

Nice dark plants especially the black prince (aka Burgundy) and ZZ Raven. I have the Burgundy and love it!

[@GoodGrowing]

[@aspirativemusicproduction2135]

Rubber plant live in full sun in nature. They are not black to absorb more light but because the red pigment increases and it looks black.

[@EmsPlantPlaceEmmaLeeFreistadt]

Not that I have ever seen one in real life but it popped up on my Pinterest, you would probably love it it’s called a begonia cf erythrogyna

[@GoodGrowing]

[@lived.by_dyxon]

Are most Alocasias dark, or are there a bit more of the greener ones?

[@GoodGrowing]

There are a lot of greener varieties as well like the zebrina, gageana, dragon scale, and many more!
