Saxifraga stolonifera (Strawberry Begonia) is a popular, trailing houseplant with fuzzy, silver-veined leaves and red, strawberry-like runners (stolons). It is neither a begonia nor a geranium, but a hardy perennial that thrives in bright, indirect light, cool temperatures (50F-75F) and moist, well-drained soil, making it ideal for hanging baskets.
Key Care Guidelines:
- Light: Prefers bright, filtered light; can tolerate morning sun but avoid harsh, direct afternoon sun.
- Water: Keep the soil consistently moist during spring and summer, but allow the top 1-2 inches to dry out before watering again to avoid root rot. Reduce water in winter.
-
Temperature & Humidity: Thrives in cooler conditions
Key Features:
- Appearance: Produces rounded, dark green leaves with reddish undersides.
- Flowers: Features white, small flowers with two long petals in spring/summer.
- Usage: Excellent for hanging planters, trailing on shelves, or as a shade-tolerant ground cover in cool climates
