Anthurium truncicola

Anthurium truncicola is a striking epiphytic aroid, valued by collectors for its leathery, elongated leaves and naturally tree-dwelling habit. Its tough, adaptable growth and understated elegance make it a satisfying addition for growers who want a hardy anthurium with real character.

Care Guide

• Light: Bright, indirect light; avoid direct sun which can scorch the leaves.
• Water: Allow the top layer of substrate to dry slightly between waterings; avoid letting it sit soggy.
• Temperature: Best in warm conditions between 65-85°F (18-29°C); protect from cold drafts.
• Humidity: Prefers humidity above 60% to keep foliage healthy and full.
• Soil: Chunky, well-aerated aroid mix with bark, perlite, and sphagnum moss for excellent drainage, mimicking its epiphytic habitat.
• Fertilizer: Feed lightly with a balanced fertilizer during the growing season to support steady growth.

With bright light and steady humidity, Anthurium truncicola settles in well and rewards growers with its tough, handsome foliage and easygoing nature.
