Common Name: Strawberry Begonia

Strawberry Begonia (Saxifraga stolonifera) is a terrestrial plant with rounded, fuzzy leaves accented by silver veining and soft red undersides. This species is not aquatic and should not be kept submerged in aquarium conditions. Instead, it thrives in terrariums or the emersed sections of a paludarium! The plant spreads via delicate runners, much like a spider plant, and will create a cascading effect over time.

Native to Asia, Strawberry Begonia is also popular as a hanging plant. It can tolerate a range of humidity levels, including average household levels, making it great for beginner plant lovers. Care is straightforward! Be sure to avoid letting water sit on its leaves and fertilize it every two weeks or once a month. Lighting needs are flexible: it can grow in moderate lighting, but appreciates bright spots as long as its partially shaded or filtered. When kept as a houseplant, allow the soil to dry slightly between waterings and use a potting mix with aerating ingredients like perlite. Eventually it will grow off-shoots with baby plants attached that you can propagate for more mother plants!
