Strawberry Begonia

Strawberry Begonias are often used as houseplants, although they may also be used as a perennial groundcover here in central Arkansas.

• Bright indirect light indoors or in filtered sun to shade in gardens
• Plant in rich, well-drained soil, and water regularly to keep evenly moist
• Try to keep water off leaves if possible
• May be propagated from offsets (small plants that grow on runners)
• Because of the runners, these plants work well in hanging planters
• Fertilize with organic matter or a weak fertilizer that encourages blooming
• If growing in a pot, re-pot each spring (they don’t like being pot bound)
• Mist weekly if growing indoors
