Know before you buy
This plant requires bright, indirect light to maintain its deep green color and silver veining. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight, which can scorch the velvety leaves.
Since it thrives in humidity above 60 percent, you may need to use a humidifier, a pebble tray, or place the plant in a glass cabinet. Consistent humidity is key to preventing brown tips on the foliage.
Yes, Plant Vault sells the exact plant pictured for each listing. You will receive the specific specimen shown, ensuring you know exactly what you are adding to your collection.
The Anthurium Villenaorum performs best in a chunky, airy aroid mix that allows for excellent drainage and root aeration. Sphagnum moss or Leca are also suitable alternatives if you prefer a different growing medium.
Under optimal conditions, the mature leaves of this species typically reach between 10 and 14 inches in length. Its compact, upright growth habit makes it a manageable choice for indoor spaces despite the impressive leaf size.
