Anthurium chamberlainii is a Venezuelan Anthurium with broad, heavy leaves that develop a strong sagittate outline as they mature. The blades are dark green and semi-glossy above, paler underneath, and shaped by deep basal lobes with pronounced veins radiating from the petiole.
It needs a steady, airy setup with enough room for the leaves to widen. The large petioles and expanding blades need space around the crown, while the roots need a chunky mix that holds light moisture and drains fast enough for air to return after watering.
Anthurium chamberlainii is native to Venezuela, where it is documented from Mérida at roughly 1500–1800 m. That high-elevation wet-forest background points to stable warmth, filtered light, moist air and an open root zone in indoor cultivation.
In a pot, the short-internoded base keeps the plant centred while the petioles carry wide leaves outward. A steady pot with drainage is important once the plant begins to size up, because top-heavy leaves can pull a light container off balance.
Keep Anthurium chamberlainii away from pets and children who may chew leaves or stems. Anthurium tissues can irritate the mouth, skin and eyes because they contain calcium oxalate crystals.
Anthurium chamberlainii was described by Maxwell T. Masters and published in Gardener’s Chronicle, series 3, volume 3, page 462, in 1888. The genus name Anthurium combines Greek roots for “flower” and “tail”, referring to the spadix that carries the small flowers. The species belongs to Araceae, the arum family.
