Anthurium clarinervium is one of the most striking foliage plants you can grow indoors. Its large, heart-shaped leaves have a deep, dark green velvet texture and are mapped with a network of bold, contrasting silver-white veins that become more defined as the plant matures. Compact in habit and slower-growing than many Anthuriums, it rewards patience with foliage that genuinely improves with age. This is a plant that earns its place on the shelf.

Origins
Anthurium clarinervium is native to the cloud forests of Chiapas in southern Mexico, where it grows as a lithophyte and epiphyte on limestone karst outcrops at elevations between 750 and 1,150 metres. This is a cooler, more seasonal habitat than the lowland rainforest most aroids come from, which explains a few of its preferences in cultivation: it tolerates slightly lower temperatures than tropical Anthuriums, and it is naturally accustomed to excellent drainage, growing in thin, mineral-rich soil that dries between rains. Give it bright filtered light, good airflow, and a fast-draining substrate, and it will thrive.

Soil and Substrate
Replicating the fast-draining, mineral-rich substrate Anthurium clarinervium grows in naturally is the key to keeping it healthy indoors. Dense, moisture-retaining potting compost is unsuitable. Our Anthurium Potting Mix is specially formulated for excellent drainage and root aeration, making it well-suited to demanding Anthuriums like this.

  • Your plant will arrive in its nursery grow pot — the plastic pot it's been growing in. We don't include a decorative pot as standard, and there's a good reason for that: it means you get to choose one that fits your space and style, rather than being stuck with something that doesn't suit your home.

    It also means you're not paying extra for a pot you might not want. The nursery pot is perfectly fine to keep your plant in for a while, just pop it inside a decorative cover pot or cache pot and you're good to go. When you're ready to repot (usually after a growing season or when roots start poking out the bottom), you can move it into something more permanent with fresh soil.

    If you're not sure what size cover pot to go for, check the pot selector tool listed above, you'll want a decorative pot that's a centimetre or two wider than that to give it a comfortable fit.
  • Every plant on our site includes the pot size (e.g. 12cm) and, where possible, an approximate height. That's the most reliable way to set your expectations, photos can sometimes make a plant look larger or smaller than it really is.

    If you're thinking "that sounds quite small for the price," here's something worth knowing: younger, smaller plants almost always adapt better to your home than larger ones. They adjust faster to your light and humidity, put out new growth more quickly, and tend to establish stronger root systems long-term. A plant that grows into your space will usually outperform one that was already big when it arrived.

    That said, every plant is an individual. The one you receive may vary slightly in height, shape, or fullness compared to the photo, that's the nature of living things, not a quality issue. We select healthy, well-established specimens, and if you ever feel your plant doesn't match what you were expecting, just get in touch and we'll take a look.
  • There's a big difference between a plant that's been sitting under on a retail shelf and one that's been looked after and cared for by people who specialise in exactly this.

    Our plants are grown in house or sourced from specialist nurseries, many of them varieties you simply won't find at your local garden centre or supermarket. Before anything leaves us, it's checked over by our horticultural team to make sure it's healthy, well-rooted, and ready to thrive in your home. We're not shifting volume off a pallet, we're choosing plants we'd want to keep ourselves.

    When you buy from a supermarket, you get a plant and a generic care label. When you buy from us, you get the knowledge that comes with it, detailed care guidance, a team you can actually contact if something isn't going right, and the confidence that what's arriving has been looked after properly from the moment it was grown to the moment it reaches your door.

    We're a specialist nursery first, not a retailer that happens to sell plants. That's the difference, and you'll see it the moment you open the box.
  • First things first, unbox it as soon as you can. Plants don't love being in dark boxes any more than you would, and the sooner yours is out and breathing, the better.

    Remove all the packaging carefully, give the soil a check with your finger, and water lightly if it feels dry. Then find it a spot with appropriate light, but avoid putting it straight into harsh direct sun or next to a radiator. Think of it like arriving somewhere new after a long journey: it needs a moment to adjust.

    It's completely normal for your plant to look a little tired or droopy after transit. This is called transit stress, and most plants bounce back within a week or two. You might see a yellow leaf or some drooping, don't panic, and resist the urge to overwater or start repotting straight away.

    Our advice for the first couple of weeks: leave it in its nursery pot, water it only when the top layer of soil feels dry, and let it acclimatise to your home's light, temperature, and humidity. Once it's settled in and showing signs of new growth, you can think about repotting or moving it to its permanent spot.

    Every plant we sell comes with a care guide on the product page so you'll know exactly what it needs going forward. And if anything doesn't look right, get in touch with our team, we're always happy to help.
  • Yes! and we go to serious lengths to make sure of it. Every plant is hand-packed by our team with protective wrapping and secure, custom-designed boxes to keep it stable and safe in transit. We've shipped hundreds of thousands of plants across the UK and our packaging methods have been refined over years to handle the bumps and jolts of delivery.

    During colder months, we monitor weather forecasts and offer heat packs where needed to protect against frost. In extreme conditions, we may hold your order for a day or two rather than risk sending it out, we'd rather you wait an extra day than receive a stressed plant.

    That said, plants are living things, and the occasional transit wobble can happen. If your plant arrives damaged or isn't in the condition you'd expect, just get in touch within 48 hours with a photo, and we'll make it right, whether that's a replacement or a full refund. No fuss.

    The short version: we treat every box like it's going to someone who really cares about what's inside, because it is.

All plants are covered by our 7-day live arrival guarantee. We pack every order in protective, sustainable packaging designed to keep your plants safe in transit. Whether grown in our own nursery or sourced from trusted partner growers, every plant is checked before it ships. On the rare occasion something isn't right on arrival, we'll make it good, provided the plant is still in its original nursery pot.

How to care for Anthurium Clarinervium

Anthurium Clarinervium is a houseplant that takes a little effort. It needs bright indirect light, watering once the top 2 to 3cm of compost has dried out, high humidity and a minimum temperature of 16°C. It is harmful to pets and small children if eaten.

Care level

A Little Effort

One thing to get right. Stay on top of that and the rest is straightforward.

Light

Bright indirect

Also copes with medium/moderate

Close to a bright window but out of direct sun. A metre back, or behind a sheer curtain, is about right.

What does bright indirect light mean?

Water

drydamp
Let the compost dry top 2 to 3cm before watering again.

Let top few cm dry out

Push a finger in. Water when the top 2 to 3cm of compost feels dry, then let it drain freely.

Humidity

Needs high humidity

Wants 60% or more. Best in a bathroom, a cabinet, or with a humidifier. Dry air shows up as crisp brown leaf edges.

Should I mist my houseplants?

Temperature

Keep above 16°C

Warm (15C+)

Wants steady warmth. Keep it away from draughts, cold glass and unheated rooms over winter.

Pets and children

Toxic if eaten

Harmful if chewed or swallowed. Keep it out of reach of pets and small children, and wash your hands after pruning.

Sourced from ASPCA and NC State toxicity records. If a pet does eat any houseplant, ring your vet.

I got the anthurium clarinervium a while ago but have only just got round to writing a review. This is such a stunning luxurious plant, I love it. I was in love with it as soon as I opened up the package and am still in love with it now! It's not a fast grower but I've had a few new leaves. I've found a transparent pot really helpful for this so I can keep an eye on the roots. Fingers crossed it's been fairly easy to look after so far.

Fantastic little plant

I was a little nervous to order my first velvet leaf anthurium but the plant arrived in perfect condition, well wrapped and secured.
It has claimed its new spot in my home without any issues so far, and I repotted it about 2 weeks after it arrived.
One thing to note, I found that there was biodegradable mesh on the roots which trapped quite a lot of roots in and it was fairly tricky getting them all out without damaging them. Thankfully, the plant had a lot of roots to begin with :)
So far I'm really pleased with this plant and excited to see it grow!

Beautiful plant in perfect condition

Beautiful plant in perfect condition and probably the best packaged plant I've ever received. Wrapped so carefully to ensure the soil stayed in the pot and didn't spill all over the box.
As a bonus my cat loved the cardboard box! :) and it's a pretty box with tropical emblems

Beautiful plant already putting out new growth!

The plant is absolutely beautiful. It's already put out new growth in the few weeks I've had it and it's such a large healthy leaf.
It had 2 flowers when I received it too!
I used to have one a few years ago but gave it away, so so happy to have another one back in my collection.
It did break off one leaf in delivery, but it's such a delicate plant, I might have caused it in my excitement opening the box.

Anthurium Clarinervium

Wasn’t actually on my list but the 4 plant special offer , couldn’t resist so bought 3 .
All rooted through , thick root coming out the bottom of each pot. I decided to put all 3 in a wide pot as opposed to individual specimens , used the anthurium potting mix from Grow Tropics which seems to be very good , evenly blended clean and easy to use and I think very good value.
