Anthurium Villenaorum

Dhs. 285.00

Anthurium villenaorum is a striking aroid known for its velvety, silvery, deeply veined leaves. 


Light

  • Bright, indirect light is ideal.

  • Avoid direct sun, which can scorch the velvety leaves.

  • Can tolerate lower light but will grow slower.


Watering

  • Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil feel dry.

  • Keep soil slightly moist but never soggy.

  • Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.


Humidity

  • Loves high humidity (60–80% is ideal).

  • Use a humidifier, pebble tray, or place in a greenhouse cabinet if indoors.

  • Mist lightly or use LECA/hydro setups for advanced care.


Temperature

  • Prefers 65–80°F (18–27°C)


Soil

  • Use a chunky, well-draining mix:

    • Orchid bark

    • Perlite or pumice

    • Coco coir or peat moss

    • Some sphagnum moss

  • A mix similar to what's used for epiphytic aroids works well.


Fertilizer

  • Feed with a balanced, diluted fertilizer (e.g., 20-20-20) monthly during active growth. 

  • Slow down or stop feeding in fall and winter.


Repotting

  • Repot every 1–2 years or when rootbound.

  • Best done in spring.
