Description

Discover Ceratostema rauhii, a striking epiphytic shrub in the Ericaceae family, named in honor of Werner Rauh, a renowned German botanist. This species is a true rarity and a captivating addition for collectors of unique cloud forest plants.

Cultivation Notes:

  • Light: Provide bright, indirect light. Filtered sunlight is ideal, mimicking the dappled light found under a forest canopy. 
  • Temperature: Aim for daytime temperatures below 29°C (84°F) and a significant nighttime drop to 4-18°C (40-65°F). 
  • Humidity: High humidity is essential, ideally maintaining levels of 60-80% or more. 
  • Watering: Keep the plant consistently moist but never soggy. Using pure water (rainwater or reverse osmosis water) is highly recommended to prevent mineral buildup.
  • Ventilation: Excellent air circulation is crucial to prevent fungal and bacterial diseases, especially in high-humidity environments. 

Additional note: Ceratostema rauhii can form dramatic, curtain-like growths, with stems potentially reaching up to 2 meters (6 feet) long.
