Jungle Plants Highlight: Saxifraga Stolonifera

Saxifraga stolonifera, commonly known as Strawberry Begonia or Strawberry Geranium, is a versatile plant admired for its ornamental foliage and adaptability, making it an excellent choice for terrarium, paludarium, and aquarium enthusiasts.

Key Features:

• Foliage: This plant showcases rounded, slightly serrated leaves with a rich green hue and prominent silver veining, creating a striking visual contrast.

• Growth Habit: It forms rosettes and produces stolons (runners) that develop new plantlets, enabling it to create a lush carpet effect in vivarium settings.

• Size: Typically reaches a height of 1520 cm (68 inches), making it suitable for foreground or midground placement in various enclosures.

Care Requirements:

• Light: Thrives under bright, indirect light; direct sunlight should be avoided to prevent leaf scorch.

• Watering: Prefers consistently moist soil; however, overwatering should be avoided to prevent root rot.

• Humidity: High humidity levels are beneficial, aligning with the moist environments of terrariums and paludariums.

• Temperature: Favors temperatures ranging from 15C to 25C (59F to 77F), aligning with typical indoor conditions.

Placement in Enclosures:

• Terrariums: Ideal for adding texture and color to humid, closed environments.

• Paludariums: Suitable for the terrestrial section, where it can spread and create a naturalistic ground cover.

• Aquariums: While not an aquatic plant, it can be used in riparium setups where its roots have access to moisture, but foliage remains above water.

Propagation:

Easily propagated through its runners; simply place the plantlets in moist substrate to encourage rooting and establishment.

With its attractive foliage and adaptability, Saxifraga stolonifera is a valuable addition for hobbyists seeking to enhance the aesthetic appeal of their terrariums, paludariums, or riparium setups.
