When it comes to houseplants that are both unique and low-maintenance, Saxifraga Stolonifera ‘Tricolor’, commonly known as the Strawberry Begonia or Strawberry Geranium, is definitely worth exploring. Its enchanting blend of colors, charming trailing habit, and resilience make it a favorite among both novice and experienced gardeners.
