A striking epiphytic Anthurium native to the cloud forests of Ecuador. It develops deeply cordiform leaves with well-opened basal lobes, a long acuminate apex, a very prominent midrib, and fine secondary venation over a semi-glossy surface.

• Light: Bright filtered light with up to 60–70% shade cloth; avoid direct sun, which can scorch the large leaf surface.
• Temperature: 59–77°F (15–25°C); an intermediate grower that thrives with stable temperatures and good air circulation.
• Humidity: 70–85%; high humidity supports healthy leaf expansion and prevents tip burn on the acuminate apex.
• 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 good aeration. Offered as a seedling at approximately 10 cm — an excellent opportunity to grow this Ecuadorian endemic from an early stage. Ships bare root and well-established.
