anthurium aff ecuadorense Anthurium bakeri aff

anthurium aff ecuadorense Anthurium bakeri affA strap leaf epiphyte closely allied to Anth. bakeri, from the tropical forests of Central America and South America. It produces narrowly lanceolate, elongated leaves with an attenuate base, no basal lobes, a long acuminate apex, a prominent midrib, and fine parallel secondary venation over a semi glossy surface. Light: Bright filtered light with up to 6070% shade cloth; avoid direct sun, which can bleach and scorch the elongated leaf surface.

A strap-leaf epiphyte closely allied to Anth. bakeri, from the tropical forests of Central America and South America. It produces narrowly lanceolate, elongated leaves with an attenuate base, no basal lobes, a long acuminate apex, a prominent midrib, and fine parallel secondary venation over a semi-glossy surface.

• Light: Bright filtered light with up to 60–70% shade cloth; avoid direct sun, which can bleach and scorch the elongated leaf surface.
• Temperature: 65–86°F (18–30°C); a warm tropical grower that thrives with stable warmth and good air circulation.
• Humidity: 65–85%; moderate to high humidity supports healthy leaf development and the characteristic glossy surface.
• 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 hanging basket or elevated mount allows the elongated leaves to develop freely. Ships bare root and well-established at 30–40 cm.
