Escargot (with a T on the end - French snail) is a finicky begonia. Does wonderful in summer outdoors but eventually goes into a nose dive indoors and dies. The only one I've been able to keep alive for the last two winters is in a terrarium full time. This will keep it on the small side unless you have a big terrarium but at least it is living and thriving.

Apparently it needs a lot more humidity indoors than most other begonias. Yet it seems to be the one that attracts a lot of attention from first time begonia buyers which kind of leaves a sour taste in potential future begonia buyers.

Here is my sole Escargot (I lost the two big ones this past winter). It is in a big acrylic ice bucket with a salad bowl lid.

Lid off.

What a well grown Escargot should look like (at least in summer). RIP
