Anth. reflexinervium is a distinctive species known for its remarkable bullate (puckered) foliage that creates a deeply textured, quilted appearance. The leaves display prominent venation with reflexed nerves that give this species its name, creating dramatic ridges and valleys across the leaf surface.
-
Light: Provide bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight which can scorch the delicate foliage and fade the vibrant green coloration.
-
Temperature: Maintain temperatures between 18-26°C (65-80°F). Protect from cold drafts and temperature fluctuations.
-
Humidity: Requires high humidity levels of 60-80%. Use a humidifier, pebble tray, or group with other tropical plants to maintain adequate moisture levels.
-
Watering: Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water when the top inch of soil feels slightly dry. Ensure excellent drainage to prevent root rot.
Additional Notes:
Foliage Characteristics: Features heavily bullate leaves with pronounced puckering that creates a unique three-dimensional texture. The deep green coloration and prominent venation make this an exceptional collector's specimen.
