"Strawberry begonia" is a common name that can be used to refer to two different plants:
-
Saxifraga stolonifera: This plant is often called the "strawberry begonia" because of its appearance, even though it is not a true begonia. Saxifraga stolonifera is a creeping perennial that produces small, round, green leaves with red undersides. It also produces tiny white flowers on slender stalks. It is often grown as a ground cover or in hanging baskets due to its trailing growth habit.
-
Begonia spp. (Cane Begonias): Some cane begonia varieties are also referred to as "strawberry begonias" because their leaves have a similar shape and pattern to the Saxifraga stolonifera. These begonias are not related to the true begonias but share a common name due to their leaf resemblance. They have bamboo-like stems and attractive foliage with silver markings and sometimes reddish undersides.
If you're specifically interested in the Saxifraga stolonifera, it's a relatively easy-to-care-for plant that thrives in moderate to bright indirect light and prefers consistently moist soil. It's often chosen for its unique foliage and ability to create lush ground cover in indoor gardens.
