A narrow-leaved species from the cloud forests of South America, grown here as cf. (confer) pending full taxonomic confirmation. Leaves are linear to lanceolate, long and gracefully arching, produced in an open fan habit from a compact base — a striking contrast to the broad-leaved Anthuriums more commonly seen in cultivation.
-
Light: Bright indirect light with up to 70% shade cloth; avoid direct sun, which scorches the narrow leaf margins.
-
Temperature: 65–82°F (18–28°C); an intermediate to warm grower that appreciates stable conditions with good air circulation.
-
Humidity: 60–80%; consistent humidity supports vigorous growth and prevents tip desiccation on the long, narrow leaves.
-
Watering: Water thoroughly when the top inch of substrate begins to dry; never allow roots to sit in standing water or dry out completely.
-
Growth Habit: Compact, multi-stemmed fan habit with successive narrow leaves; an architectural specimen that adds linear texture and movement to any collection.
Additional Notes
Arrival & Establishment Recommendation: Pot promptly upon arrival in a well-draining, chunky aroid mix (bark, perlite, and coco coir). Water thoroughly to rehydrate the roots and place in a warm, humid spot away from direct sun for the first two weeks.
