The Silver Veil of Southeast Asia
Native to the shaded, moisture-rich forest floors of Vietnam, Sonerila sp. Vietnam is an undescribed jewel plant prized for its refined elegance rather than flamboyance. This unnamed species displays a harmonious balance of deep green, velvety foliage traced with luminous silver veining, giving the plant a calm, moonlit appearance. Less fiery than its Indonesian counterparts, it carries a cooler, more understated glow—making it a sophisticated choice for collectors who favor subtle beauty and botanical purity.
