The Anthurium vittarifolium is a spectacular pendulous species that I'm absolutely excited to offer, renowned for its extraordinary ribbon-like foliage that creates one of the most dramatic displays in the Anthurium world. This specific plant is now developing mature leaves showing elongated, pendulous fronds that cascade downward like elegant ribbons, with the slender leaves displaying a rich green colouration and prominent veining that creates a sophisticated appearance, standing out in any collection.

Care Information:
Light:
Bright, indirect light is essential for optimal growth and leaf development. Avoid direct sunlight which can scorch the delicate pendulous leaves. Morning sun can be beneficial, but protect from harsh afternoon rays.
Water:
Water when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Maintain consistent moisture without waterlogging, and reduce watering during winter months.
Humidity:
Optimal humidity ranges from 70-80%, with a minimum of 60%. High humidity is crucial for proper leaf development and preventing the ribbon-like leaves from developing brown edges.
Temperature:
The Ideal temperature range is 18-27°C, with a minimum of 16°C. Protect from cold drafts and maintain stable temperatures for best results.
Soil:
Support:
No support needed as this species has a naturally pendulous growth habit. Allow leaves to cascade freely for the most dramatic ribbon-like display effect.
Fertiliser:
Fertilise regularly with
GT Foliage during the growing season, reducing feeding in winter.
Toxicity:
This plant is toxic if consumed, so please keep away from children and pets.
