Sonerila sp. Batang Sibau

95,00 

Sonerila sp. Batang Sibau is an absolutely amazing, new and extremely rare species of Sonerila with deeply dark blue (black iridescent) leaves with vivid green venation and purple hairs. This is probably one of the most magnificent Sonerila species at all. But please note: it can be quite variable, and depending on conditions, it can change its pattern into extremes: either the venation can dominate, making the leaves mostly green, or the dark background can expand, turning them almost veinless.

Description

Sonerila sp. Batang Sibau is a stunning Sonerila species from Kalimantan, Borneo. Like many others, its size usually does not exceed 15 cm, so it is perfectly suited for terrariums, vivariums and jars. It needs very similar conditions to Begonia and other small plants from tropical forest floor, which is rather dark and very humid.

Sonerila sp. Batang Sibau growing conditions:

  • Humidity: high (80% or higher).
  • Watering: intermediate (do not let the soil dry out, but avoid sogging).
  • Soil: slightly acidic with very good drainage (Sphagnum moss with perlite and peat or similar; pure Sphagnum works very well, too).
  • Fertilizing: low.
  • Light: intermediate to low.
