Anthurium splendidum

I ordered Splendidum to go well with my other bullated Luxurians. Careful they are NOT brothers, while Luxurians is easy to please, this one is a must-have-unbearable-level humidity, so you can't just keep it in your house. It needs a terrarium or at least a big enough jar etc. I had time to prepare and it's acclimating well in a Biorb Air 60, at 94-95% humidity, proper ventilation, 26-28 degrees C and 12 hrs light. I was amazed how well it did while shipping, other plants in same batch did not do so well but Splendidum kept in great shape!

This anthurium came in great condition and has acclimated faster than any previous imports. Keeping these in an enclosed container with lost of humidity is a must. I Keep mine in a cloche on top of lava rock and a water tray on top of a heat mat, and it has already rooted and is pushing out a new leaf after just two weeks! Definitely recommend buying your splendidum from Ecuagenera!

Received a beautiful 3 leafed specimen, packed in a domed plastic container to retain 99%+ humidity. Note that this plant ABSOLUTELY NEEDS 99%+ CONSTANT humidity. I experimented with it at 90-95 and this caused irreversible damage after only several hours. I plan on buying more splendidum from Ecua, but only after I have perfected an environment for them. The highest humidity you can give them, and sufficient air flow so that it doesn't rot.

Arrived in good shape with 2 beautiful leaves that unfortunalely dried quickly due to the change of environement. But the roots are OK and Alex kindly explained me how to proceed. Thank you again for your fast reply!
