• Genus: Anthurium
• Botanical Background: Described by renowned botanist Thomas B. Croat, Anthurium campii adds to the rich history of aroid studies and reflects ongoing efforts to document tropical biodiversity.

• Geographical Range: Indigenous to select tropical regions, often recorded in cloud forests and humid lowland areas of South America.
• Environment: Thrives in moist, shaded environments with well-draining soils. Typically grows in areas with high humidity and stable, warm temperatures.

Leaves

• Typically large, leathery, and lanceolate
• Deep green coloration
• Subtle veining

Inflorescence (Spadix & Spathe)

• Consists of a slender spadix paired with a modest spathe that may display muted shades of green or cream
• Relies on specific pollinators for reproduction

Growth Habit

• Generally terrestrial, developing from a robust rhizome that supports its overall growth and resilience in native habitats

Light Requirements

• Flourishes in bright, indirect light

Watering & Humidity

• Regular watering that maintains consistent soil moisture
• High ambient humidity is essential

Soil & Potting Mix

• A well-aerated, peat-based mix with added perlite or orchid bark works best

Temperature & Fertilizer

• Prefers a warm environment with temperatures ranging from 65°F to 80°F
• Balanced, diluted fertilizer applied during the growing season supports its growth

Division

• Division of its rhizome
• Care should be taken to ensure each section has viable roots and shoots
  

Stem Cuttings (if applicable)

• Not Applicable

Seeds

• Less common and can be challenging, as germination requires specific conditions that mimic the humid understory of its natural habitat

Typical Issues

• Infestations by spider mites and mealybugs
• Fungal root rot if overwatered

Treatment Recommendations

• Organic insecticidal soaps and careful water management are recommended for pest control and disease prevention

• Garnered attention for its rarity and is a subject of interest in botanical research
• Plays a role in local ecosystems by supporting specific pollinator interactions

• Prized for its unusual leaf morphology and the challenge it poses in cultivation, making it a sought-after specimen in specialty collections

Wild Population Status

• Due to its restricted range and specific habitat requirements, the species may be vulnerable
• Conservation initiatives focus on habitat protection and sustainable collection practices
  

Market Availability

• Considered rare in the horticultural trade
• Often available only through specialized growers and botanical institutions
