Please note: This is an Imperfect Plant
Our Imperfect Plants are healthy and ready to grow, but they show a little more character than those in our main range. These plants may have some cosmetic quirks such as old pest damage, slight browning, twisted or stunted growth, or a few damaged leaves. None of these issues affect their long-term health, and every plant is checked by our team to ensure it’s rooted and ready to thrive in your care.
By choosing an Imperfect Plant, you’re giving a perfectly good plant a second chance. It’s a simple way to grow your collection while helping us reduce waste and make our production more sustainable. Each one is unique, with its own story and charm, perfect for anyone who values growth in all its forms.
Due to the nature of these plants, Imperfect Plants are not eligible for exchanges or refunds.

Native to: Anthurium wendlingeri is native to the tropical forests of southeastern Nicaragua to northwestern Colombia. These regions provide the humid, shaded conditions that this plant naturally thrives in as an epiphyte.
Water: Allow the top 3 cm of soil to dry out before watering. This plant prefers consistent moisture but should not be left in waterlogged soil. Good drainage is crucial to prevent root rot. Adjust the watering frequency based on the humidity levels and temperature of the indoor environment.
Light: This Anthurium prefers bright, indirect sunlight. Direct sunlight can scorch its velvety leaves, so it’s best placed in a location where it receives filtered light. It can also adapt to lower light conditions, though its growth may slow.
Humidity: Flourishing in high humidity environments, Anthurium wendlingeri benefits from humidity levels of 70% or higher. To maintain these conditions, consider using a humidifier, placing the plant on a pebble tray with water, or grouping it with other plants to create a more humid microenvironment. This species is also well-suited for terrariums due to its humidity requirements.
Temperature: Maintain a temperature range of 18°C to 26°C for optimal growth. Avoid exposing the plant to temperatures below 15°C, as it is sensitive to cold. The warm, stable temperatures typical of its native habitat are ideal for this Anthurium.
