Not a true begonia! Actually a member of the Saxifraga family. A medium sized terrarium plant - Strawberry begonias sprout cascading plantlets that will root themselves and grow. Each plantlet can be cut & repotted to grow into another plant. Prefers moist soil - but not soggy. Maximum 6-9" tall. If planted high in a habitat - the plantlets will drape down towards the substrate. Prefers lower lighting - leaves burn in high light. Leaves are covered in fine hair with silver markings that grow brighter in lower lighting.

We've got a killer assortment of smaller Rex Begonias.  Keep humidity at 50% minimum, medium to low indirect light (no direct sun), keep soil moist - but allow leaves & stems to dry between watering.  Minimum temperature of 65F.  Grows to approx 7-10+" tall depending on variety.

Please note - our supplier changes varieties weekly so we can't 100% guarantee a specific type.
Feel free to ask for a certain color in the "order comments" section during checkout.  We'll try to pick a plant in the same ballpark!
