Anthurium recavum (seedling)

Anth. recavum is a striking species known for its impressive foliage development and distinctive quilted leaf texture that emerges as the plant matures.

• Light: Provide bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight which can damage the delicate leaves of young plants and affect their development.
• Temperature: Maintain temperatures between 18-24°C (65-75°F). Protect from cold drafts and sudden temperature changes.
• Humidity: Requires high humidity levels of 70-85%. Use a humidifier or humidity tray to maintain optimal moisture levels.
• Watering: Keep soil consistently moist but well-draining. Water when the top inch of soil feels slightly dry. Use filtered or rainwater when possible.
• Maintenance: As a baby plant, repot according to growth until it reaches medium size. Provide adequate water, light, and fertilizer, but use less than for adult plants to avoid damaging development.

Additional Notes:

Foliage Characteristics: Heart-shaped leaves with developing quilted texture and prominent venation. Young plants display smooth green leaves that will develop the characteristic three-dimensional quilting patterns as they mature. This species is highly valued among collectors for its impressive size potential and unique textural appeal.
