A selected cultivar of a legendary epiphytic Anthurium from the cloud forests of South America. It produces narrowly lanceolate, deeply elongated leaves with narrow parallel basal lobes, a long acuminate apex, dense fine secondary venation, and a characteristic pendulous habit over a semi-velvety surface.

• Light: Bright filtered light with up to 60–70% shade cloth; avoid direct sun, which can scorch the elongated leaf surface.
• Temperature: 59–77°F (15–25°C); an intermediate grower that performs best with stable temperatures, good airflow, and no cold drafts.
• Humidity: 75–90%; very high humidity is essential to support the characteristic velvety texture and healthy leaf elongation.
• 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 excellent aeration; a hanging basket or elevated mount allows the pendulous leaves to develop freely. The 'Green Zafire' cultivar is a select form prized for its exceptional leaf elongation and refined venation pattern. Ships bare root and well-established.
