Its large, heart shaped leaves have a deep, dark green velvet texture and are mapped with a network of bold, contrasting silver white veins that become more defined as the plant matures. Compact in habit and slower growing than many Anthuriums, it rewards patience with foliage that genuinely improves with age. This is a plant that earns its place on the shelf.

Origins
Anthurium clarinervium is native to the cloud forests of Chiapas in southern Mexico, where it grows as a lithophyte and epiphyte on limestone karst outcrops at elevations between 750 and 1,150 metres. This is a cooler, more seasonal habitat than the lowland rainforest most aroids come from, which explains a few of its preferences in cultivation: it tolerates slightly lower temperatures than tropical Anthuriums, and it is naturally accustomed to excellent drainage, growing in thin, mineral-rich soil that dries between rains. Give it bright filtered light, good airflow, and a fast-draining substrate, and it will thrive.

Soil and Substrate
Replicating the fast-draining, mineral-rich substrate Anthurium clarinervium grows in naturally is the key to keeping it healthy indoors. Dense, moisture-retaining potting compost is unsuitable. Our Anthurium Potting Mix is specially formulated for excellent drainage and root aeration, making it well-suited to demanding Anthuriums like this.
