⚠️ Shipping Update – Heatwave Delays

Due to the ongoing UK heatwave, we've temporarily paused shipping of all live livestock and plants to ensure they arrive safely.

The good news is that temperatures are forecast to drop significantly next week, and we'll be resuming dispatches.

Current dispatch schedule:

  • Orders placed 29th June – 5th July: Dispatching Monday.
  • Orders placed 6th July – 12th July: Dispatching Tuesday & Wednesday.
  • New orders placed from today: Dispatching from 27th July.

We've built up a large backlog during the heatwave, so we're bringing in additional staff and implementing a new workflow to get orders out as quickly as possible.

We sincerely apologise for the delay and thank you for your patience. The welfare of our livestock and plants will always come first.

If you would prefer not to wait, we're happy to offer a full refund. Simply get in touch and we'll arrange this for you.

Thank you for your understanding,

Adam & the MicroExotics Team

Description

The Strawberry Begonia ( Saxifraga stolonifera ) is a charming and versatile terrarium plant, perfect for small setups. Its growth habit mimics that of a strawberry plant, producing runners that root into new plants, allowing it to spread naturally and fill out an enclosure.

With its delicate green leaves, often marked with silvery veining and a purple underside, this plant makes a perfect accent for terrariums or bioactive enclosures. It prefers damp but not waterlogged substrates, low to medium light, and high humidity conditions, making it well-suited to both tropical and temperate terrarium environments.

Hardy, attractive, and self-propagating, the Strawberry Begonia is an excellent choice for adding texture and interest to any planted setup.
