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.

🐾 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.
