Description

Sonerila sp. Metallic Bluish is another Sonerila species from Indonesia. With it’s adult size rarely reaching 12 – 15 cm in diameter, 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. Metallic Bluish growing conditions:

  • Humidity: high (80% or higher).
  • Watering: intermediate (do not let the soil dry out, but avoid sogging).
  • Soil: 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.
