Here’s a detailed care guide for Sonerila Radiance 🌿:

🌤️ Light

  • Prefers bright, indirect light or filtered shade.

  • Avoid direct sunlight — it will scorch the delicate leaves.

  • Thrives beautifully under LED grow lights (12–14 hours/day).

💡 Tip: Too little light can make the leaf color dull, while too much light can fade or burn it.


🌡️ Temperature

  • Ideal range: 20–28°C.

  • Keep away from cold air or sudden temperature drops.

  • Below 15°C, growth slows, and leaves may wilt.

🌡️ Stable, warm conditions mimic its native tropical habitat.


💧 Watering

  • Needs consistently moist but well-draining soil.

  • Water when the top 1–2 cm of soil feels slightly dry.

  • Avoid overwatering — soggy soil can cause root rot.

  • Use rainwater or filtered water to prevent mineral buildup.

🚫 Never let water sit on the leaves for long — this can cause spotting or rot.


💨 Humidity

  • Requires very high humidity (75–90%).

  • Best suited for terrariums, glass cabinets, or greenhouse setups.

  • If grown outside a terrarium, mist regularly and use a pebble tray or humidifier.

🌫️ Leaves will crisp or curl if humidity drops below 60%.


🌱 Soil

  • Use a light, airy, and moisture-retentive mix.
    Recommended blend:

    • 40% sphagnum moss or coco peat

    • 30% perlite or pumice

    • 20% leaf mold or fine compost

    • 10% fine orchid bark

💧 Ensure excellent drainage while keeping constant moisture.


🍽️ Fertilizer

  • Feed very lightly during active growth (spring to early autumn).

  • Use a diluted (¼ strength) balanced liquid or orchid fertilizer every 4–6 weeks.

  • Avoid overfeeding — too much fertilizer can damage roots and fade leaf color.


🪴 Repotting

  • Repot only when necessary (every 1–2 years).

  • Handle gently — roots are fine and fragile.

  • Always use fresh, sterilized substrate to prevent fungal issues.


🌸 Propagation

  • Leaf or stem cuttings work best.

    • Take a small cutting with a node.

    • Place in moist sphagnum moss under high humidity and gentle warmth.

    • Roots develop within a few weeks.

  • Can also be propagated by division of mature plants during repotting.
