How to read these values
These care values are quick reference points for indoor growing. Use them as a guide, then adjust for pot size, substrate, temperature and how quickly the substrate dries.
For more detail, read the full product description or visit our Plant Care Guides.
- Light: level and approximate lux at leaf level.
- Watering: “% dry” shows how far the substrate should dry before watering again.
- Substrate: structure, drainage, moisture retention, base material and particle size.
- Temperature: “Ideal” shows the preferred range; “Avoid below” marks the cold-stress threshold.
- Humidity: target range; steady conditions usually matter more than exact numbers.
- Growth habit: how the plant grows, such as upright, climbing, trailing, clumping or rosette-forming.
- Support: whether a stake, pole or trellis is needed, optional or unnecessary.
- Growth speed: expected pace under suitable indoor conditions; use as a guide, not a promise.
- Max size indoors: realistic long-term indoor size under good conditions.
- Toxicity & safety: irritation, toxicity or physical hazards such as spines or bristles.
- Origin & habitat: native range, hybrid background or typical habitat where relevant.
- Outdoor growing: when a potted indoor plant can be placed outside and what outdoor protection it needs.
Anthurium crassinervium 'Jungle Bush'
Anthurium crassinervium 'Jungle Bush' is a large bird’s-nest Anthurium with firm, leathery leaves growing from a strong central crown. The long blades have gently wavy margins and raised veins, giving the plant a broad, upright rosette habit.
The species is native from Colombia to Venezuela and Curaçao. In nature, Anthurium crassinervium can grow on trees, rocks or soil, so its roots do best in an open, airy mix. Indoors, that means it needs a substrate that holds some moisture while still letting air reach the roots.
Anthurium crassinervium 'Jungle Bush' key traits
- Growth habit: Self-heading bird’s-nest Anthurium with leaves rising from a central crown.
- Leaves: Long, firm blades with a leathery texture, raised veins and gently wavy margins.
- Size: Can become a large and heavy container plant as it ages, especially with warmth, light and space for roots.
- Roots: Suited to open, airy growing conditions.
- Support: Forms a self-heading rosette and is best grown in a stable pot.
Anthurium crassinervium 'Jungle Bush' indoor care
- Light: Give bright filtered light. Good light supports firm growth, but protect newly expanded leaves from harsh midday sun.
- Watering: Water thoroughly, then let the upper part of the mix begin to dry before watering again. In cooler conditions, wait a little longer between waterings.
- Substrate: A bark-based, open Anthurium mix gives the roots both moisture and air. Add coco chips, pumice or perlite so the mix stays open and drains well.
- Temperature: Keep warm and stable. In cooler rooms, the plant uses water more slowly.
- Humidity and airflow: Moderate to higher humidity helps reduce dry edges, while gentle airflow keeps the crown and old leaf bases from staying damp.
- Feeding: Feed lightly during active growth with a diluted complete fertiliser. Strong doses can cause salt stress and brown leaf edges.
- Repotting: Repot when roots fill the pot or the mix begins to collapse. Choose a stable container as the rosette becomes heavier.
- Crown care: Remove loose old leaf bases and dry debris when they come away easily. Clean around the crown gently.
Anthurium crassinervium 'Jungle Bush' issues to check
- Top-heavy growth: A mature rosette can become unstable. Move the plant into a heavier or wider pot if it starts tipping.
- Soft crown or stem base: Look for water sitting around the crown, old wet debris, compacted substrate or declining roots.
- Yellowing lower leaves: Can come from stale mix, cool roots, overwatering or natural ageing of older leaves.
- Brown leaf edges: Check for dry gaps, strong fertiliser, crowded roots or low humidity.
- Pests in new growth: Inspect young leaves, petiole bases and the crown for thrips, scale, mealybugs or mites.
Anthurium crassinervium 'Jungle Bush' flowering
Older plants can produce Anthurium inflorescences with a spathe and spadix, often in green to purple tones. Cut faded inflorescences near the base with clean scissors.
Anthurium crassinervium 'Jungle Bush' handling and safety
Anthurium crassinervium 'Jungle Bush' should be kept out of reach of pets and children. Ingested plant material can irritate the mouth and throat. Sap may also irritate skin and eyes because Anthuriums contain insoluble calcium oxalate crystals.
