Anthurium berriozabalense is a rare Anthurium known for its unique glaucous leaves and upright growth habit. Its foliage is typically smooth and silvery blue-green, with a subtle gloss that accentuates its unique leaf structure.
Its compact growth makes it well-suited for indoor cultivation, and its tolerance for indoor humidity levels allows it to adapt well to typical household conditions. Proper care can result in a robust plant that adds an understated elegance to any collection.
Native to:
Anthurium berriozabalense is native to the tropical forests of Mexico, particularly thriving in the humid understories of these environments. It has adapted to shaded conditions with dappled light, replicating the filtered sunlight it would naturally receive beneath the forest canopy.
Water:
This species requires consistently moist soil, with the top layer allowed to dry slightly between waterings. Avoid overwatering, as soggy conditions can lead to root rot. This Anthurium prefers to be on the drier side of constantly moist. Use well-draining soil to balance moisture retention and aeration.
Light:
Bright, indirect light is ideal for Anthurium berriozabalense. Direct sunlight can scorch the delicate leaves, while insufficient light may slow its growth and reduce its overall vigour.
Humidity:
High humidity levels above 60% are preferred, making this plant a good candidate for a terrarium setup if space allows. Alternatively, frequent misting or placing the plant near a humidifier can help maintain the required moisture levels.
Temperature:
This species thrives in temperatures between 18–30°C, with a minimum threshold of 15°C. Protect it from cold drafts and sudden temperature fluctuations to ensure steady growth.
