From humid montane forest in Ecuador, Anthurium cutucuense develops trisect foliage with three elongated segments and a strongly textured surface. The divided blades, coloured petioles and red midrib show its palmately divided leaf form.
The plant needs bright filtered light, humidity and a breathable root zone indoors. Hot dry conditions or stagnant wet substrate can stress leaves and roots quickly, especially while segmented new growth is still expanding.
Anthurium cutucuense grows as a hemiepiphytic or epiphytic vine, occasionally terrestrial, in wet mountain forest. The segmented blades, coloured petioles and bullate surface are central to its appearance, while the extending stem and aerial-root tendency call for open substrate and careful spacing.
Keep temperatures mild to warm and stable. Protect the plant from heat spikes, dry air and direct midday sun, especially while new leaves are expanding.
Keep Anthurium cutucuense away from pets and children. Anthurium plant tissue can irritate the mouth and throat if chewed, and sap may irritate skin or eyes.
Anthurium cutucuense was described by Michael T. Madison and published in Selbyana 2:256 in 1978. The species name refers to the Cordillera de Cutucú in southeastern Ecuador, matching the plant’s documented Ecuadorian montane background. It is part of the palmately divided Anthurium group, and the trisect blade is one of its defining characters.
