A striking foliage plant with elongated, heart-shaped leaves, prominent veins, and gently undulating margins carried on long, slender petioles. Its sculptural foliage and open architecture create a bold tropical presence, with ample space allowing the leaves to spread naturally as the plant develops.
-
Light: Bright indirect light with 60–70% shade cloth; avoid harsh direct sun, which can scorch the leaves.
-
Temperature: 65–82°F (18–28°C), a warm tropical grower; maintain stable conditions and protect from cold drafts.
-
Humidity: 60–80% supports healthy leaf expansion; provide gentle air circulation to prevent prolonged moisture on the foliage.
-
Watering: Water thoroughly when the surface of the mix begins to dry, allowing excess water to drain freely. Avoid waterlogged conditions and do not let the root ball dry out completely.
-
Growth Habit: Upright, spreading foliage held on elongated petioles; allow generous space around the plant as its leaves develop.
Additional Notes
The designation “cf” indicates a provisional identification based on resemblance to Anthurium giganteum, rather than a confirmed species determination.
Arrival & Establishment Recommendation: Shipped bare root, well-established. Pot promptly in a loose, well-drained mix of fine bark, perlite, and a moisture-retentive component such as sphagnum or coco fiber. Water thoroughly after potting to rehydrate the roots, then maintain gentle light, steady warmth, and humidity during acclimation.
