Anthurium clarinervium is a stunning foliage houseplant in the Aroid family and is sure to stop you in your tracks with its dark green, deeply lobed heart shaped leaves and contrasting white veins.
Anthurium clarinervium is native to Mexico and grows as an epiphyte. Since it is an epiphyte, it has special potting soil needs which I’ll discuss soon!
They do flower, and will look similar to many aroid family flowers in that they have both a spadix and a spathe, but they are insignificant on Anthurium clarinervium.
These plants clearly are grown for their striking, leathery, thick foliage.
Care:
- These plants enjoy mostly bright indirect light or filtered sunlight. Keep these plants away from too much direct sun. A little bit is fine.
- An exception is in the winter time if you live in areas with much shorter and cloudier days like I do.
- During those months, some direct sun will greatly benefit these plants.
- Place at eastern facing window so it get some morning sun. In the summer, I place the plant outside in complete shade.
- Anthuriums love high humidity and are really best grown in a greenhouse, but you can grow them successfully indoors with some attention.
- If your indoor winter air is dry as a result of forced air heat inside your home, I would highly recommend getting a humidifier.
- They are often drenched in nature from frequent rains, but they will dry out quickly because their roots are much more exposed because of the way they grow.
- Don’t let these plants sit in water or it will spell death and they will rot.
- After you water thoroughly, make sure you discard excess water.
- Let it all drain away. Don’t let any sit in the saucer underneath.
- Don’t water again until the top inch or two of the potting mix is dry. Just use your finger to determine that.
- Fertilize throughout active growth in the Spring and Summer time. I like to fertilize dilutely with every watering (or almost every watering)
