Anthurium kunayalense (seedling)

A rare species from the rainforests of Central America. Produces large, bilobed cordiform leaves with widely separated upper lobes and a striking radial venation pattern — prominent cream-yellow primary veins radiating from the central insertion point against a clean medium-green blade.

• Light: Bright indirect light; avoid direct sun. Thrives near an east- or north-facing window, or under grow lights.
• Temperature: Intermediate-warm growing — 65°F–82°F (18°C–28°C). Protect from temperatures below 60°F (15°C).
• Humidity: 70–90%. Use a humidifier or high-humidity enclosure for best results. Avoid dry air from heating or AC vents.
• Watering: Water thoroughly when the top inch of the substrate feels dry. Use a well-draining, chunky aroid mix. Never let roots sit in standing water.
• Growth Habit: Upright; produces large bilobed leaves with widely open upper lobes on slender petioles. Benefits from a moss pole or totem as it matures.
• Maintenance: As a seedling, this plant benefits from stable humidity and temperatures. Avoid sudden environmental changes and repot only when roots are well established.

Additional Notes:

The semi-glossy surface and well-defined secondary venation in relief add texture and depth to the blade. New leaves emerge in warm bronze-gold. Leaf shape varies between individuals, with some producing more elongated blades.
