A collector's Anthurium native to the cloud forests of the Andes, prized for its elegant elongated foliage with distinctive pigmentation along the veins, petioles, and leaf undersides. A refined and rewarding species for the serious grower of tropical aroids.

• Light: Bright indirect light; avoid direct sun which can scorch the foliage. Consistent bright diffused light brings out the characteristic vein pigmentation most vividly.
• Temperature: 57–82°F (14–28°C) — Intermediate grower. Adaptable to a broad range; appreciates a slight nighttime drop but handles warm daytime highs well with adequate humidity.
• Humidity: 70–90%; high ambient moisture is essential. A grow tent, greenhouse, or powerful humidifier is recommended for long-term success.
• Watering: Keep the substrate consistently moist but never waterlogged. Excellent drainage is vital — roots must remain oxygenated to prevent rot.

Additional Notes

Best grown in a well-draining aroid mix (chunky bark, perlite, and sphagnum) in a pot with drainage holes. Grown and selected at Ecuagenera, Ecuador. Ships bare root and well-established.
