Saxifraga stolonifera
Strawberry Begonia
Rounded patterned leaves with runners — charming in cooler humid displays.
Despite the name, it is not a begonia. It sends strawberry-like runners and prefers cooler, humid conditions rather than hot sealed tropical heat.
Why it works
Runners create a natural colony look without aggressive tropical vines.
Watering notes
Moist but cooler — reduce water if temperatures rise sharply.
Care tips
- Allow a few plantlets to root.
- Avoid baking sun.
- Good for cloches you can vent.
Common problems
- Heat stress in tiny sealed jars.
- Crispy leaves in dry rooms.
- Messy runners if untrimmed.
