Native to the humid rainforests of Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru, this species belongs to the Araceae family and is one of the most graceful trailing Anthuriums in cultivation.
The variegated form elevates the species natural beauty with streaks, patches, and splashes of cream, ivory, and light green running through deep forest-green leaves. Each strap-shaped leaf can grow up to a metre long, creating a cascading display of texture and contrast. The leaves are leathery yet elegant, with subtle rippling along the margins that catch the light beautifully.
Perfect for hanging planters, wall mounts, or tall stands, Anthurium vittarifolium Variegata adds a refined, tropical aesthetic to any space a true collectors plant combining rarity, texture, and movement.
Prefers bright, indirect light or gentle dappled shade. Too much direct sunlight can scorch the lighter variegated sections, while too little light will cause reduced variegation and slower growth.
Keep the soil evenly moist but never waterlogged. Water when the top 23 cm of the mix feels slightly dry. The roots prefer consistent moisture with plenty of air circulation. In winter, allow the soil to dry a little more between waterings.
Temperature: Thrives in warmth between 2028C. Protect from cold draughts and avoid temperatures below 16C.
Humidity: Requires high humidity (7090%) to maintain lush, glossy leaves and prevent crisping edges. Use a humidifier, pebble tray, or greenhouse cabinet for best results.
Use an airy, moisture-retentive aroid mix a blend of orchid bark, perlite, sphagnum moss, and coco coir works perfectly. This replicates its natural epiphytic growing environment. Repot every 12 years in spring, or when roots begin to outgrow the container. Hanging baskets or tall pots allow the leaves to drape beautifully.
Feed every 46 weeks during spring and summer with a diluted, balanced liquid fertiliser or an aroid-specific formula. Stop feeding in autumn and winter when the plant slows its growth.
Remove yellow or damaged leaves close to the base to encourage new growth. Wipe the foliage gently with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and enhance its sheen. As the plant grows longer, provide gentle support to prevent leaf tangling or damage.
A moderate grower, reaching up to 11.2 metres in length when mature. Over time, the plant forms a graceful, cascading canopy of variegated foliage. When mature and well cared for, it may produce small inflorescences with pinkish to cream spathes.
Yellowing leaves: Overwatering or cold exposure.
Brown edges: Low humidity or irregular watering.
Faded variegation: Insufficient light.
Pests: Occasionally thrips or spider mites; treat promptly with neem oil or insecticidal soap.
