Anthurium marmoratum
Key Features
Anthurium marmoratum is a true velvet leaf anthurium, known for its deep green, matte-textured foliage and elongated, spear-shaped leaves. This is the pure form, not a hybrid, and is highly sought after by collectors for its striking appearance and mature size.
In ideal conditions, mature leaves can regularly exceed 60 cm in length, with some reaching up to 90 cm. The plant grows upright and benefits from support as it gains height over time.
Native to tropical regions of South America, this species requires stable warmth and humidity to perform well indoors. It is best suited to controlled environments such as grow tents, greenhouses, or homes equipped with humidifiers.
Care Requirements
- Requires higher humidity and warm temperatures to thrive
- Bright, indirect light preferred C avoid direct sun
- Grow in a well-draining aroid mix with consistent moisture
- Airflow is important to minimise bacterial and fungal issues
What to Expect
You will receive a young, established indoor plant grown in controlled conditions (approximately 20C and 60C70% relative humidity). The plant pictured is a representative example of what you will receive. Natural variation in leaf size and shape is expected.
We recommend this plant for experienced growers only. In southern parts of Australia, a grow tent, humidifier, or heated humid space is essential to maintain long-term health.
