Description

Charming and compact. Neither a true strawberry nor a begonia, this cute plant sends out runners (stolons) just like a strawberry plant. It has rounded, hairy leaves and is very decorative.

Quick Care Guide: Strawberry Begonia

☀️ Light: Bright, Indirect Light This plant loves bright, filtered light. It can handle a little morning sun, but the intense afternoon Florida sun will burn its scalloped leaves. In Wesley Chapel, a shaded porch or a bright East-facing window is perfect.

💧 Water: The "Keep it Consistent" Method Keep the soil moist but not soggy. Water when the top half-inch of soil feels dry. Avoid getting water directly on the fuzzy leaves, as trapped moisture can lead to rot or fungal issues.

🌴 Humidity: Moderate to High Like many of our tropicals, it enjoys humidity but is quite hardy. If you are shipping to states like PA or MD, suggest a pebble tray during the winter months when indoor air is dry.

🐾 Toxicity: Non-Toxic & Pet Friendly Great for your animal-loving customers! The Strawberry Begonia is generally considered safe for cats and dogs, making it a worry-free addition to any home.
