Plant Details
Airflow
High — Requires constant active ventilation. These plants are extremely sensitive to high humidity unless accompanied by significant, steady air movement to mimic their native breezy habitats.
Family
Ericaceae
Growth strategy
Terrestrial
Humidity
80–100% — The "Sweet Spot" for most rare tropicals and shinglers. This high-saturation environment is essential for aerial root attachment to hardscape and ensures that delicate foliage maintains its turgidity and sheen.
Lighting
Bright — Requires high-output lighting to maintain vivid color expression (especially for reds, purples, and variegation) and to ensure shingling habits stay tight and compact.
PH
4.5–5.5 — Highly Acidic: Ideal for specialized species like certain Sonerila or Selaginella that thrive in peat-heavy or sphagnum-based substrates. These plants are adapted to environments with high organic breakdown.
