Sonerila sp. ferox is a very unique species with stunning spiny bullations on its leaves, resembling a small version of the much better known Begonia ferox (hence the name). Moreover, each bullation has a single purple hair on its top, making the appearance of this species even more astounding.

Description

Sonerila sp. ferox is unique Sonerila species from Kalimtan, Borneo. Like others, it is perfectly suited for terrariums, vivariums and jars, it never reaches a size of around 15 cm in diameter. It needs very similar conditions to Begonia and other small plants from tropical forest floor, which is rather dark and very humid.

Sonerila sp. ferox 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.
