Anthurium altaverapazense Culture

The Anthurium altaverapazense is a remarkable species native to Guatemala, renowned for its extraordinary bullate (pillowed) foliage and dramatic venation patterns.

• Light: Bright, indirect light is ideal. Avoid direct sunlight which can damage the delicate bullate texture and cause leaf burn.
• Temperature: Warm, stable conditions with temperatures between 21-27C (70-80F) during the day and not below 18C (65F) at night to support optimal growth.
• Humidity: High humidity is essential, maintaining levels between 70-85% using humidifiers, pebble trays, or regular misting to enhance the development of the characteristic bullate texture.
• Watering: Water when the top 3cm of substrate begins to dry. Maintain consistent moisture while ensuring excellent drainage to prevent root rot.

Additional Notes

• Foliage Characteristics: The leaves exhibit remarkable bullate (pillowed) texture with deeply impressed primary and secondary veins creating a distinctive quilted appearance that intensifies with maturity.
