Anthurium bakeri aff

A strap-leaf epiphyte closely allied to Anth. bakeri, from the tropical forests of Central America and South America. It produces narrowly lanceolate, elongated leaves with an attenuate base, no basal lobes, a long acuminate apex, a prominent midrib, and fine parallel secondary venation over a semi-glossy surface.

• Light: Bright filtered light with up to 60–70% shade cloth; avoid direct sun, which can bleach and scorch the elongated leaf surface.
• Temperature: 65–86°F (18–30°C); a warm tropical grower that thrives with stable warmth and good air circulation.
• Humidity: 65–85%; moderate to high humidity supports healthy leaf development and the characteristic glossy surface.
• Watering: Water thoroughly when the top layer of substrate begins to dry; avoid waterlogging while ensuring roots do not dry out completely.

Additional Notes

Best grown in a chunky, well-draining aroid mix with good aeration. A hanging basket or elevated mount allows the elongated leaves to develop freely. Ships bare root and well-established at 30–40 cm.
