Soil Type

Water: Eria prefers humid tropical conditions, thriving in high humidity and tolerating moderate droughts. Watering twice a week ensures optimal hydration, while misting helps replicate rainforest humidity. This epiphyte benefits from tailored care during active growth periods for improved water uptake.

Propagation: Eria propagation primarily involves division and cuttings, requiring warm temperatures, high humidity, and well-draining medium. Handle eria gently due to fragile roots. Steps include dividing rhizomes or taking stem cuttings, using a perlite-peat mix, and gradually acclimatizing post-root establishment.
