Anthurium Coriaceum

Key Features
Leathery Foliage: Leaves are erect, elongated, paddle-shaped, and slightly velvety to the touch, with a highly prominent central mid-vein.
Growth Form: Grows in a rosette pattern resembling a bird’s nest, stretching 60 to 90 cm (2 to 3 feet) tall and wide.
Unique Blooms: It produces subtle chocolate and green inflorescences (spathes and spadices) during spring and summer rather than bright red flowers.
Resilience: Its exceptionally thick leaves store water efficiently, making it more forgiving to dry indoor air and minor watering neglect than thinner-leafed aroids.

Essential Care Guide
To ensure your plant thrives, mimic its natural subtropical, epiphytic habitat:
Light: Provide bright, indirect sunlight. Avoid direct afternoon sun to prevent leaf scorching.
Watering: Water thoroughly once the top few centimeters of the substrate dry out (typically 1–2 times a week). Never let the roots sit in stagnant water.
Soil Mix: Use a highly aerated, well-draining substrate rich in organic matter. A mixture of orchid bark, perlite, charcoal, and peat moss works best.
Temperature & Humidity: Thrives best between 18°C and 27°C. While it tolerates lower household humidity better than other Anthuriums, it prefers ambient humidity above 50%.
Toxicity: Contains calcium oxalate crystals. Keep away from pets and children, as ingestion causes severe mouth irritation.
