Columnea tenella

Columnea tenella Culture

Columnea tenella is a Columnea gesneriaceae hybrid grown at our nurseries in Ecuador. Like most of its genus it appreciates intermediate-to-warm conditions and steady, attentive care.

• Light: Bright to moderate indirect light.
• Temperature: It prefers days of 22-30 °C (72-86 °F) and cooler nights around 18-22 °C (64-72 °F).
• Humidity: High, stable humidity (70-85%) keeps the foliage in top condition; a humidifier or grouping plants together helps in dry rooms.
• Watering: Water when the top of the substrate starts to dry; keep it lightly moist and never waterlogged.
