Saxifraga Tricolor

Strawberry Begonia ‘Tricolor’ 🍓🌿 has round softly fuzzy leaves brushed in green, cream, and pink, with reddish undersides that give it a sweet vintage look people really notice. It does best in bright indirect light indoors, where the color stays nicest and the runners can spill beautifully from shelves, plant stands, or hanging pots. This plant is generally manageable and likes a bit more steady moisture than drought-tolerant houseplants, but it still does not want to stay soggy. Pro tip: if the leaves start crisping or fading, check for dry soil, dry air, or too much direct sun 💧.
