Anthurium marmoratum is a wet-tropical Anthurium species from western Colombia to Ecuador. It grows with a briefly scandent subshrub structure, short internodes and robust petioles that hold parchment-like blades away from the crown.
The upper leaf surface is associated with marbled or spotted patterning. A coarse Anthurium mix keeps moisture available while preventing the root zone from becoming dense around the base.
Anthurium marmoratum benefits from a pot that keeps the plant upright while allowing quick drainage after watering. The root zone should stay lightly moist but open, with coarse pieces in the mix preventing the substrate from settling around the crown.
Robust petioles and short stem sections give the plant a steady base above the pot. New leaves are most vulnerable while the blades are still soft, so keep them away from dry air blasts, direct sun and tight contact with other plants until the tissue firms.
Anthurium marmoratum should be kept out of reach of pets and children. Chewed tissue can cause calcium oxalate irritation in the mouth and throat.
Anthurium marmoratum was described by Sodiro in 1903. The epithet means marbled, matching the marbled or spotted patterning associated with the upper leaf surface.
