Anthurium superbum is a striking Anthurium renowned for its robust, highly textured upright rosette of leathery leaves. The foliage is deep green with prominent central veins and a pebbly texture, often exhibiting a purplish hue on the undersides of new leaves. This species grows as an epiphyte or terrestrial plant in its natural habitat, forming a nest-like structure that captures organic debris and moisture. Mature plants can reach heights of 60–90 cm.

Origins
Anthurium superbum is native to the Amazonian foothills of eastern Ecuador, where it grows as a terrestrial or low-epiphytic bird's nest anthurium on shaded forest floors and rocky outcrops in warm, consistently humid conditions with filtered light.

Soil and Substrate
Our Anthurium Mix is perfectly suited to this plant as the chunky blend of bark, perlite and charcoal keeps roots aerated, drains quickly to prevent crown rot, and still holds enough moisture to support the lush, upright new leaves this species is known for.
