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.
