A striking epiphytic Anthurium native to the cloud forests of Ecuador. It develops large, deeply cordiform leaves with broad, rounded basal lobes, bold palmate venation radiating from the base, a prominent midrib, and a semi-velvety, dark 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 preserves the characteristic semi-velvety texture.
• 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. A terracotta or net pot is recommended to promote healthy root development. Ships bare root and well-established at 30–40 cm.
