Here’s a detailed care guide for Sonerila sp. Tepuai :
🌤️ Light
-
Prefers bright, indirect light or filtered shade.
-
Avoid direct sunlight — it can scorch the fragile foliage.
-
Thrives under grow lights if natural light is limited.
🌡️ Temperature
-
Optimal range: 20–28°C.
-
Keep away from cold drafts or temperatures below 15°C.
-
Maintain a warm, stable environment similar to a terrarium or tropical greenhouse.
💧 Watering
-
Requires consistently moist soil, but never waterlogged.
-
Water when the top layer feels slightly dry.
-
Use soft, room-temperature water (preferably rain or filtered).
-
Avoid wetting leaves frequently to prevent fungal issues.
💨 Humidity
-
Loves very high humidity (70–90%).
-
Best grown in a terrarium or enclosed display.
-
Mist gently or use a humidifier to maintain moisture in the air.
🌱 Soil
-
Needs light, airy, and moisture-retentive soil.
Recommended mix:-
40% sphagnum moss or coco peat
-
30% perlite or pumice
-
20% leaf mold or fine compost
-
10% fine orchid bark or coco chips
-
-
Excellent drainage is essential — roots are sensitive to rot.
🍽️ Fertilizer
-
Feed very lightly every 4–6 weeks during active growth (spring to early autumn).
-
Use a diluted (¼ strength) balanced liquid fertilizer or orchid fertilizer.
-
Avoid over-fertilizing — roots are delicate.
🪴 Repotting
-
Repot only when absolutely necessary, usually every 1–2 years.
-
Handle with care; the root system is fine and easily damaged.
-
Always use fresh, sterile mix to prevent fungal growth.
🌸 Propagation
-
Propagate by leaf or stem cuttings.
-
Place cuttings in moist sphagnum moss under high humidity and warmth until new roots form.
-
Can also be propagated by division, though best done rarely to avoid stress.
⚠️ Common Issues
| Problem | Cause | Remedy |
|---|---|---|
| Leaf curling or crisping | Low humidity | Move to a terrarium or increase ambient humidity |
| Yellow leaves | Overwatering or poor drainage | Improve soil aeration and allow brief drying between watering |
| Leaf drop | Sudden environmental change | Keep temperature and humidity stable |
| Fungal spots | Poor air circulation | Provide gentle airflow and avoid water on leaves |
🐾 Toxicity
-
Not known to be toxic to pets or humans, but still best kept out of reach of children or animals due to its delicate nature.
🌿 Ideal Setup
-
Best results in a closed terrarium or high-humidity cabinet with good airflow and indirect light.
-
Perfect companion plant for Begonias, Peperomias, or Jewel orchids.
