Begonia Strawberry Variegated - 4" Pot
The variegated strawberry begonia, also known as Saxifraga stolonifera 'Tricolor', is a type of perennial plant that belongs to the Saxifraga genus and is native to Japan, Korea, and China. It is a popular houseplant due to its attractive foliage, which features shades of green, pink, and cream.
The plant has a trailing habit and produces small, pink or white flowers in the summer. Its leaves are small and round, with serrated edges and variegated coloring that can range from light green to dark green, with splashes of pink or cream. The plant also produces runners, or stolons, which can be propagated to produce new plants.
The variegated strawberry begonia is a relatively low-maintenance plant and can be grown indoors or outdoors in mild climates. It prefers bright, indirect light and well-draining soil. The plant should be watered when the top inch of soil feels dry, and it can benefit from regular fertilization during the growing season.
One unique aspect of this plant is that it is a relatively fast grower, and its runners can produce new plants relatively quickly. This makes it a great plant for sharing with friends or propagating to expand your collection.
