This tighter ribbing gives the leaves a richly corrugated surface, with light catching the raised sections and shadow settling into the grooves. On mature foliage, the glossy green finish and leathery texture make that repeated pattern particularly striking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe close spacing of the ribs is the key feature that distinguishes narrow form from plants sold as wide form, which have more widely spaced ribbing. Overall leaf width and proportions can vary between individual plants and as they mature. Narrow form is a horticultural description within \u003cem\u003eAnthurium veitchii\u003c\/em\u003e; the appeal for collectors is its tightly pleated leaf surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKnown as the King Anthurium, this species is native to Colombia, where it grows as an epiphyte in wet tropical habitats. Its leaves become longer and increasingly pendulous with maturity. An elevated position gives the foliage room to hang and allows the ribbing to be appreciated along the full blade. Growing a younger plant on offers the pleasure of watching this texture and leaf length develop over successive growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis exact specimen is growing in a \u003cstrong\u003e90mm pot\u003c\/strong\u003e and carries \u003cstrong\u003ethree established leaves\u003c\/strong\u003e, with \u003cstrong\u003eone additional leaf emerging\u003c\/strong\u003e.
