The classic 'unicorn' Anthurium. Anthurium papillilaminum is celebrated for its large, velvety, heart-shaped leaves that exhibit a deep olive-green hue. The foliage has a leathery texture and a subtle velvet sheen. As a slow-growing species, it maintains a manageable size, making it ideal for indoor cultivation.

Native to

Anthurium papillilaminum is native to the tropical rainforests of Panama, where it thrives in the humid, shaded understory. In its natural habitat, it often grows as an epiphyte on other plants or trees, adapting to varying conditions.

Water

This species prefers consistently moist but well-draining soil. Water the plant when the top inch of the soil feels dry to the touch, ensuring that the potting mix remains slightly moist without becoming waterlogged. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so it's crucial to allow excess water to drain away and avoid letting the plant sit in standing water.

Light

Anthurium papillilaminum thrives in bright, indirect light. While it can tolerate lower light levels, optimal growth and leaf development occur with ample indirect sunlight. Direct sunlight should be avoided, as it can cause leaf scorch and damage the plant's delicate foliage.

Humidity

High humidity levels are beneficial for Anthurium papillilaminum, ideally between 60% and 80%. In typical indoor environments, maintaining humidity around 55% is often sufficient. If humidity levels are lower, consider using a humidifier or placing the plant on a tray with moist pebbles to increase local humidity.

Temperature

This species prefers temperatures between 21°C and 32°C. It is sensitive to temperatures below 16°C and may struggle in excessively warm conditions. Maintaining a stable temperature within this range supports healthy growth and development.
