Anthurium pulcachense

Anthurium pulcachense is a Peruvian Anthurium with narrow dark green leaves, a softly subvelvety upper surface and deep rose-pink cataphylls around new growth. The elongated blades are held on upright petioles and show their texture best in filtered light.

The species comes from San Martín, Peru, near Pulcache, at 630–950 m elevation in Premontane wet forest. In cultivation, it should be treated as a warm, humidity-loving terrestrial Anthurium with dense roots, a short stem and a need for steady moisture in an airy substrate.

Narrow leaves, rose cataphylls and Peruvian habitat

  • Leaf shape: Blades are narrowly ovate and cordate to subcordate, with an elongated outline.
  • Leaf surface: The upper leaf surface is dark green and subvelvety, while the underside is paler and matte.
  • Cataphylls: New growth is wrapped by deep rose-pink cataphylls that can remain visible around the stem.
  • Petioles: The petioles are sharply triangular-winged, adding detail beyond the leaf blade itself.
  • Growth habit: The species has a short erect stem, short internodes and dense roots.
  • Origin: It comes from wet premontane forest near Pulcache in San Martín, Peru.

Short-stemmed growth and dense roots

Anthurium pulcachense develops from a short stem with closely spaced growth and dense roots. Its leaves are held erect to spreading, with narrow blades that show a dark upper surface and a paler, matte underside. Deep rose-pink cataphylls wrap new growth around the short stem.

The dense root zone should stay evenly moist and warm, with enough coarse material that water drains through the pot and air returns around the roots after watering.

Wet-forest care for Anthurium pulcachense

  • Humidity: Higher humidity helps new leaves and cataphylls open smoothly, especially while growth is soft.
  • Watering: Keep the substrate lightly and evenly moist, watering before the root ball dries hard.
  • Substrate: Use an airy, moisture-retentive aroid mix with bark, fibre and mineral drainage material.
  • Light: Give bright filtered light. Direct sun can mark the subvelvety leaf surface and dull the dark green surface.
  • Stem care: Keep the short stem above compacted wet substrate so the base stays firm and oxygen reaches the roots.
  • Temperature: Keep it consistently warm. Cold stress can slow new growth and damage wet roots.
  • Leaf care: Clean leaves gently and avoid polishing products, which can mark or clog the softly textured surface.
  • Feeding: Feed lightly during active growth. Excess fertiliser can leave residue on roots and leaf surfaces.

Leaf and cataphyll issues

  • Stuck cataphylls: Dry air can cause new growth to catch before the leaf expands fully.
  • Distorted leaves: Low humidity, root stress or pest damage can affect narrow new blades while they are still soft.
  • Yellowing leaves: Stale wet substrate around dense roots can lead to root stress and yellow foliage.
  • Dull leaf surface: Direct sun, mineral residue or rough cleaning can mark the subvelvety upper side.
  • Slow recovery: Chilling can pause growth for a long period, especially if the substrate is wet.

Handling safety for Anthurium pulcachense

Anthurium pulcachense contains insoluble calcium oxalate crystals and should not be placed where pets or small children can chew it. Contact with sap can irritate sensitive skin, so wash your hands after pruning or handling damaged tissue.

For work or casual wear, this polo is a great choice.
Material Type: Recycled Polyester, Color: Port Stripe, Size: X-Large
I really like this polo. I've been wearing it once a week or every other week since November. Its very comfortable and breathable. This polo feels like it should last a while. The fit is good. I typcally wear XL and this XL fits great. I've pruchased it in both burgundy and black so far. I definitely recommend this shirt. For work or casual wear, this will look good.

Great value: These are my go-to work from home shirt
Material Type: Recycled Polyester, Color: Blue, Size: X-Large
I’ve been pleasantly surprised by these shirts and wear them weekly for Zoom calls, since I’m still working from home these days. I figured at the price point it was worth trying them out, and now I’ve bought several in different colors. They aren’t super soft, but they are comfy and look nice. I’m 6’1” ~220 pounds, and the XL slim fit still has plenty of room. I imagine the regular cut is incredibly boxy and oversized. The difference between polyester vs recycled polyester is inconsequential. I typically buy expensive golf shirts, and these definitely aren’t as nice. They are a fraction of the cost though and a great “beater” work shirt / hang out shirt. It’s nice wearing something that looks and feels decent, but if something happens to it, you can toss and it and pick up another for the cost of a chipotle burrito.
