Solanum sp. 'Ecuador'
Solanum sp. 'Ecuador' is an interesting vine that is an easy to grow terrarium species. As a young plant, the leaves are small at less than an inch. The freshly emerged leaves on this species are a bright bronze with neon green veining. As they mature, they become a beautiful deep green with lighter green veining.
In addition to the amazing color, the leaves are also covered in a very fine pubescence which can really add some interest to a tank after a recent misting when you can see all of the water droplets sitting on the leaves.
This species definitely appreciates higher humidity. To establish a cutting, simply place on a bed of very moist sphagnum and give it medium to high light and keep it humid. In our experience this species establishes and starts growing very rapidly.
