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.
