A terrestrial to epilithic Anthurium from the Andean cloud forests of South America. It produces ovate-lanceolate leaves with a gently cordiform base, short basal lobes, a prominent midrib, and fine secondary venation over a semi-glossy, leathery surface.
-
Light: Bright filtered light with up to 60–70% shade cloth; avoid direct sun, which can bleach and scorch the leathery leaves.
-
Temperature: 59–75°F (15–24°C); an intermediate grower that appreciates cool nights and stable Andean-like conditions.
-
Humidity: 65–85%; consistent humidity supports healthy leaf development and prevents tip burn.
-
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 terracotta or net pot is recommended. Ships bare root and well-established.
