Anthurium scherzerianum x wendlingeri is an intriguing hybrid of two distinct Anthurium species, combining features of the compact, brightly coloured Anthurium scherzerianum with the long, twisting spadix of Anthurium wendlingeri. This is the reverse cross of the very popular and rare NSE hybrid known as "Anthurium Chainsaw".
This hybrid produces a striking mix of characteristics, with potential for unique, long-lasting flowers that can range in shades of red, orange, or even pink. The leaves are typically broad and glossy, while the spadix may form long, curly shapes that are characteristic of A. wendlingeri, giving the plant a sculptural appearance.
Like many members of its genus, Anthurium scherzerianum x wendlingeri prefers a controlled environment with specific humidity and light levels to thrive. Its epiphytic nature means it will appreciate a well-draining potting mix, and regular attention to its moisture needs will ensure healthy growth.
Native to
Both parent species are native to tropical regions of Central and South America. Anthurium scherzerianum is commonly found in the cloud forests of Costa Rica, while Anthurium wendlingeri originates from more humid, lowland rainforests in Central America. This hybrid inherits a preference for humid, shaded conditions, resembling the warm, sheltered environments of its native habitat.
Water
This plant prefers consistently moist but well-drained soil. Water thoroughly when the top inch of the substrate feels dry, allowing excess water to drain completely. The roots are prone to rot if left in standing water, so avoid overwatering and ensure the plant is potted in a mix that retains moisture without becoming waterlogged.
Light
Bright, indirect light is ideal for Anthurium scherzerianum x wendlingeri. It can tolerate lower light levels, but this may result in reduced flowering. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves, especially since both parent species naturally grow under the dappled canopy of the forest floor.
Humidity
High humidity, above 60%, is essential for healthy growth, with even higher levels preferred to encourage optimal flowering and foliage development. This plant will benefit from regular misting, or placement near a humidifier. If humidity levels consistently reach 70% or higher, this hybrid can also be grown in a large terrarium.
Temperature
This hybrid thrives in typical indoor temperatures of 18-24°C. It is sensitive to cold drafts and should be kept away from windows or doors that may expose it to temperatures below 15°C. Maintain consistent warmth for the plant to avoid stress, particularly during colder months.
