Anthurium rugulosum

Anth. rugulosum is a distinctive species known for its unique appearance and easy cultivation. This sought-after plant offers collectors an exceptional specimen with manageable care requirements.

  • Light: Provide bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight which can scorch the delicate foliage and damage the distinctive surface texture.
  • Temperature: Maintain temperatures between 18-26°C (65-80°F). Protect from cold drafts and temperature fluctuations which can stress this sensitive species.
  • Humidity: Requires very high humidity levels of 70-85%. 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 remarkable cordate leaves with deeply bullate surface texture creating a pebbled appearance. The pronounced corrugated venation and granular pubescence on the undersides give each leaf a unique three-dimensional quality that sets this species apart from all others.
