We’ve been looking for a good Anthurium to bring you, and we’ve finally found one we like. OR1 is a hybrid selection that we can grow well (so you should, too!) with great leaf color and contrasting veining for year-round appeal.

This variety sports deep green, heart-shaped leaves that emerge a unique coppery-orange color. We’ve found cooler nights give more impactful color to the new growth, so you might find it’s even more of a showstopper in winter than summer! The veins are a silvery-green color, adding an eye-catching look. Over time, with good care, we’ve had leaves more than 16 inches wide. So give it good care and it’s sure to become the highlight of your plant collection.

Anthurium magnificum OR1 is a little more specific in its growing requirements than your average houseplant, so it’s not for everyone. But if you can give it a bright, humid spot, you’re sure to love it.

Interested? Order now we’ll hand-select your Anthurium magnificum OR1 fresh from the farm. Our team will carefully pack it up in a box and send it out for shipping. Shipping and handling are included in the price.

•        Eye-catching: The big, bold leaves with contrasting veins attract attention
•        Hard-to-find: Anthurium OR1 is a newer variety that’s not easy to find; you can be one of the first to grow it
•          Long-lived: With good care, it can live for decades, making it a great investment
•        Can grow to 2 feet or more

Anthurium magnificum OR1

Anthurium magnificum is native to areas of Colombia and Ecuador in South America where it’s found in tropical subtropical rainforests. Thanks to its eye-catching looks, it’s often used as a parent in Anthurium breeding programs.

This houseplant likes lots of light, so we recommend it for high-light environments (within a couple of feet of a good-sized, unobstructed east- or west-facing window, or the equivalent of with plant lights). It will tolerate medium lighting conditions, but it won’t be as happy. It can take some morning sun through a window, particularly in Northern climates.

In our testing processes, it’s grown well in our Wick & Grow® self-watering system as long as you never overfill the reservoir. The potting mix stays moist, but not too wet for the plant. If you wish to water it the traditional way, it’s best to allow the top 25 percent or so of the potting mix to just start to dry between waterings. Take care not to overwater and swamp the potting mix. Both underwatering and overwatering can cause yellow/brown leaf edges.

This Anthurium magnificum hybrid grows well in average household temperatures, but thanks to its tropical roots, it holds up to heatwaves and doesn’t require particular care when the mercury soars. Do try to keep it over about 60F/15.5C for best results.
