A select cultivar of a legendary epiphytic Anthurium from the cloud forests of South America. Even as a seedling, it already displays the characteristic narrowly lanceolate, elongated leaves with fine secondary venation and a semi-velvety surface that define this iconic species.

• Light: Bright filtered light with up to 60–70% shade cloth; avoid direct sun, which can scorch the elongated leaf surface.
• Temperature: 59–77°F (15–25°C); an intermediate grower that performs best with stable temperatures, good airflow, and no cold drafts.
• Humidity: 75–90%; very high humidity is essential to support the characteristic velvety texture and healthy leaf elongation.
• Watering: Water thoroughly when the top layer of substrate begins to dry; avoid waterlogging while ensuring roots do not dry out completely.

Additional Notes

Best grown in a chunky, well-draining aroid mix with excellent aeration. The 'Esmeralda' cultivar is a select form prized for its refined venation and exceptional leaf form. Offered as a seedling at approximately 10 cm — an excellent opportunity to grow this collector’s cultivar from an early stage. Ships bare root and well-established.
