Anthurium sp. Napo

Anthurium sp. Napo is a rare tropical anthurium native to the midelevation forests of the Napo region in Ecuador. It is known for its large, glossy, heart or arrowshaped leaves borne on redgreen petioles. The foliage is thick and deep dark green, often with minimal venation and striking lobes. It grows both terrestrially and epiphytically in its native habitat.

Native to:
The midelevation cloud forests of the Napo region, Ecuador, where it grows both on the ground and as an epiphyte under canopy cover. Leaves are thick, glossy and deep green with a broad heart or arrow shape, emerging from stout redgreen petioles.

Water:
Maintain slightly moist but welldrained soil. Water when the top third of the potting medium begins to dry. Avoid letting it sit in waterlogged conditions to prevent root issues.

Light:
Place in bright, filtered light. It tolerates medium indoor light but growing under healthy leaf colour requires plenty of indirect light. Avoid direct sun, especially midday rays, to prevent leaf scorch.

Humidity:
Prefers high humidityideally above 70%. In average UK indoor conditions, mist regularly, group together or use a humidifier/grow tent.

Temperature:
Ideal range is 1826C, with a lower limit of around 16C; below that, leaf damage may occur. Protect from cold drafts and maintain stable warmth
