• Genus: Anthurium
• Botanical Background: Described by renowned botanists Croat and M.M.Mora, the species was identified following extensive field studies. Its naming reflects a commitment to understanding the intricate diversity within tropical aroids.

• Geographical Range: Native to tropical rainforests
• Environment: Thrives in environments with high humidity, well-draining soils, and partial to full shade; found in forest understories where consistent moisture and moderated temperatures support its growth

Leaves

• Leaves are broad
• Glossy texture 
• Vibrant green coloration
• Attractive pattern and subtle variegation
• They often feature subtle variegation or patterns

Inflorescence (Spadix & Spathe)

• Prominent inflorescence with a colored spathe that serves as an attractive visual cue for pollinators
• Not heavily scented, the structure supports specialized pollination mechanisms common among aroids

Growth Habit

• Typically terrestrial; grows from a well-developed rhizome

• Maintains an upright habit and may form clumps in its natural setting

Light Requirements

• Bright, indirect light that mimics the filtered sunlight of forest understories

Watering & Humidity

• Regular watering is essential
• Maintaining a humid environment is beneficial
• Should not be exposed to prolonged drying conditions

Soil & Potting Mix

• A well-draining potting mix enriched with organic matter is ideal
• A loose, airy substrate helps prevent root rot and supports healthy growth

Temperature & Fertilizer

• Thrives in warm conditions typical of tropical climates

• A balanced fertilizer applied during the growing season can promote robust development

Division & Cutting

• Division of the rhizome is the most common propagation method
• Care should be taken to ensure that each division contains a healthy portion of roots and growing points

Seeds

• Less common due to variable germination rates; seeds require a controlled, warm, and humid environment for optimal success

Typical Issues

• Spider mite and mealybugs
• Fungal issues and root rot

Treatment Recommendations

• Organic insecticidal soap or neem oil can be effective against pests
• Ensuring well-drained soil and proper watering techniques minimizes the risk of fungal infections and root rot

• Sparked interest among botanical enthusiasts due to its unique floral display and its adaptation to specific tropical microhabitats

• Plays a role in local ecosystems by attracting specialized pollinators

• Prized specimen among collectors and gardeners

Wild Population Status

• Not yet widely assessed, localized studies suggest that its populations could be vulnerable to habitat disturbance

• Conservation efforts focus on preserving its natural rainforest habitat

Market Availability

• Relatively rare in cultivation, appealing to dedicated collectors

• May find it available through specialist nurseries or botanical exchanges rather than mainstream retailers
