Fine scandent stems carry the compact, bullate leaves of Anthurium clidemioides. The blades are cordate, matte green above and textured by sunken basal veins, giving the plant a detailed surface on small, closely held leaves.
The thin internodes can suffer if they sit wet inside dense substrate. Keep the base visible above the mix so moisture drains away from the stems while the roots remain lightly moist.
Anthurium clidemioides is native from Costa Rica to Colombia, with records in Costa Rica, Panama and Colombia. It grows as a small scandent epiphyte, so indoor care should focus on humidity, airflow and a root zone that drains quickly.
A small support, rough surface or careful tie can guide extending stems without bending or compressing them. Keep the base visible above the substrate so thin internodes are not held wet after watering.
Anthurium clidemioides should be kept away from pets and children. Damaged plant tissue and sap can irritate the mouth, throat, eyes and sensitive skin.
Anthurium clidemioides was described by Paul C. Standley and published in Publications of the Field Museum of Natural History, Botanical Series 22:3 in 1940. The epithet clidemioides means Clidemia-like, referring to a resemblance between its textured leaves and those of Clidemia, a genus in Melastomataceae. The species is defined by small bullate leaves and fine scandent stems.
