A strawberry begonia plant in a 9 cm pot inside a 10 cm lilac ceramic pot
Hi I have this pot of plant for sale. I am in North London. My post code is N11 3PQ. I am near to New Southgate station and Tesco extra in Colney hatch Lane. If you don't have a car you can come by bus. The following buses come near to my place:- and 221. This plant can be grown indoor and outdoor in a shelter spot. Strawberry Begonia grows in a mound of rounded, scalloped leaves with decorative silvery veins. The leaves are hairy with burgundy-red undersides. Its most charming feature, though, are the long runners with plantlets dangling from the plant. Display it in a hanging basket to show them off. In its native habitats of China and Japan, it grows as a groundcover, spreading quickly by its runners that readily take root. This plant likes cool temperatures, but is frost-tender. Keep it cool and moist, and it makes an easy-care house plant. Sprays of tiny, white star-shaped flowers on tall stems may appear in summer. Repot in spring every couple years or when the roots fill the pot. Put it in a hanging pot to show off its trailing plantlets. Use a pot with drainage holes to prevent soggy soil. Direct sun can cause leaves to look faded or brown. Keep Saxifraga stolonifera out of strong summer sun. Crispy, shriveled leaves are often a sign that the air is too dry. Use a pebble tray or a room humidifier to raise the humidity around the plant. Don't mist this plant because the tiny hairs trap water and may cause the leaves to rot. Dry soil could also cause dry leaves. Aim to keep the soil lightly moist. You can buy this plant with or without the ceramic pot. Without the ceramic pot I am selling it for two pounds. Ad ID:
