Anthurium Villenaorum 4”

The Anthurium villenaorum is a rare velvet-leaf species native to the humid jungles of Peru. It stands out with its deeply lobed, heart-shaped leaves covered in rich green velvet and striking silver veins. As the plant matures, its foliage becomes even more textured and bold, making it a stunning centerpiece in any aroid collection.

This Anthurium thrives in warm, humid conditions and prefers a chunky, well-draining mix—typically a blend of orchid bark, perlite, and sphagnum moss. It enjoys consistent moisture but should never sit in soggy soil. High humidity (60% or more) will encourage new leaf growth and help maintain its velvety appearance. Fertilize lightly during the growing season for the best results.

Place your Anthurium villenaorum in bright, indirect light. Too much direct sun can burn the delicate leaves, while too little light may cause leggy growth or smaller foliage. An east-facing window or a few feet from a south or west-facing window with filtered light is ideal. With the right balance of care and environment, this tropical gem will reward you with lush, dramatic foliage year-round.
