That is because the seller spelled it wrong - they have it as Serrattipetala. I have a favorite for eBay, begonias, Buy it Now. B. serratipetala is one close to the top.

Here is the link to serratipetala:

And here is my favorite to eBay - Begonias - Buy it Now. I hate bidding on anything on eBay anymore.

I used to mix my own media using Hoffman's ingredients - peat moss, perlite, and vermiculite but it was too much dust, too much cost, and too much work. Miracle Gro make breakdown faster than Al's mix but until I see a plant really decline then I leave it alone. There are some begonia folks who change the potting mix out each year so that must make me lazy or stingy or both. That is such a huge committment in cost and labor.

Here is Texas Red Star water rooted and has some little pups on it. The jar is a blueberry syrup jar from Cracker Barrel. Baby food jars and medicine vials also work well.
