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.
