Anthurium reflexinervium (seedling)

Anth. reflexinervium is a distinctive species known for its remarkable bullate (puckered) foliage that creates a deeply textured, quilted appearance. Even as a seedling, the leaves already show the characteristic reflexed nerves and prominent venation that give this species its name.

• Light: Provide bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight which can scorch the delicate young foliage.
• Temperature: Maintain temperatures between 18-26°C (65-80°F). Protect from cold drafts and temperature fluctuations.
• Humidity: Requires high humidity levels of 60-80%. Use a humidifier, pebble tray, or group with other tropical plants to maintain adequate moisture levels.
• Watering: Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water when the top inch of soil feels slightly dry. Ensure excellent drainage to prevent root rot.
• Maintenance: As a baby plant, repot according to growth until it reaches medium size. Provide adequate water, light, and fertilizer, but use less than for adult plants to avoid damaging development.

Additional Notes:

Foliage Characteristics: This seedling already displays the signature bullate texture with pronounced puckering. As it matures, the three-dimensional leaf texture will become even more dramatic, making it an exceptional collector's specimen.
