Anthurium lancea is a western Colombia and western Ecuador Anthurium with dark green foliage, a semi-gloss to glossy surface and pronounced vein texture. The blades can show etched or sunken primary veins above, with paler undersides and raised vein detail below.
A grounded, subshrub-style habit needs a steady container, an airy root zone and evenly moist substrate. The leaves hold their shape well, but the surface can mark under direct sun or rough contact.
The dark blades of Anthurium lancea show their vein texture most clearly in soft, bright light. Direct sun can mark the semi-gloss surface, while low light can slow leaf production and reduce leaf size.
A chunky substrate keeps air around the root system while holding enough moisture between waterings. The plant should sit in a pot that drains freely, with the stem base clear of dense wet material.
Anthurium lancea contains insoluble calcium oxalate crystals. Contact with chewed plant tissue can irritate the mouth and digestive tract, so keep it away from pets and children.
Anthurium lancea is an accepted species in the Araceae family. It is recorded from wet tropical regions of western Colombia and western Ecuador, where it grows with warmth, regular moisture and air around the roots.
Anthurium lancea combines dark semi-gloss blades, paler undersides and etched vein detail in a grounded subshrub form.
