- ² Cyprus, Greece & Malta: delivery is possible, but courier reliability can vary; arrival times and plant condition cannot be guaranteed. Our 28-day guarantee does not apply to plants shipped to these destinations due to unpredictable transit times.
- Curated selection:
Every plant is hand‑picked for health and visual appeal, so you receive a strong, well‑established plant.
- Representative photos:
Product images show a typical plant of this variety. Natural differences in leaf number, shape or variegation are normal – your plant will still match in type and quality.
- Size details:
Listed sizes refer to pot diameter (cm) and approximate overall height (cm) from the base of the pot to the tallest leaf or stem.

How to read these metrics
These metrics are standardised reference points. We compile them by reviewing and cross-checking multiple botanical and horticultural references, then refining them through real-world growing experience. Source links: Plant Care Resources.
Please use the values as guidance. Conditions vary by home, so the same plant can respond differently. For plant-specific context, read the full product description and browse our Plant Care Guides.
- Light: level + approximate lux at leaf level; DLI is the daily light “dose” for grow lights.
- Watering: “% dry” is the trigger before watering again; lower % stays more evenly moist.
- Potting mix: one-line profile (structure/drainage • moisture buffer • base • particle size).
- Temperature: “Ideal” comfort range; “Avoid below” marks higher stress risk.
- Humidity: target bands (Normal/Moist/Humid); consistency usually matters most.
- Growth habit: growth form (rosette, trailing, climbing) for placement and training.
- Support: needed/optional/none — whether stake, pole, or trellis improves structure and size.
- Growth speed: fast/average/slow under decent indoor conditions—expectations, not a promise.
- Max size indoors: realistic long-term potential; format differs for climbers vs. trailers.
- Toxicity & safety: chemical irritants/toxicity and physical hazards (spines, bristles).
- Origin & habitat: native region + typical biome/habitat as context.
Anthurium peltigerum – Rare Peltate Jewel for Collectors
Anthurium peltigerum is a rare tropical Anthurium prized for its unusual shield-like (peltate) leaves and deeply textured, leathery surface dotted with glandular punctuations. Native to the lower montane forests of Colombia and Ecuador, this species grows as an epiphyte or lithophyte at mid-elevations (400 – 1400 meters). Its thick foliage and slow, elegant growth make it a showpiece for advanced collectors seeking truly exceptional plants.
Key Features of Anthurium peltigerum
- Rare Peltate Leaves: Leaf blades attach centrally to the petiole – an extremely uncommon trait in Anthuriums.
- Thick, Textured Surface: Glandular dots and a firm, leathery feel add to its visual and tactile appeal.
- Compact, Upright Habit: Grows upright or semi-trailing when mature; ideal for controlled indoor spaces.
- High Collectible Value: Extremely sought-after for its rarity and exotic appearance.
Natural Habitat and Adaptations
Anthurium peltigerum inhabits wet tropical forests between 400 – 1400 meters in Colombia and Ecuador, where it clings to tree trunks or mossy rocks under dense canopy shade. It thrives in stable, humid environments with consistent moisture and filtered light.
Caring for Anthurium peltigerum
- Light: Bright, indirect light is crucial. Avoid direct sun exposure, which damages the delicate leaf surfaces.
- Humidity: Requires 70 – 85% humidity. Essential for leaf integrity and growth consistency.
- Watering: Water when the top 10 – 15% of substrate is dry. Keep moisture even but avoid soggy conditions at all costs.
- Temperature: Best between 18 – 25°C. Sensitive to cold; protect from drafts.
- Soil Mix: Use an extremely well-draining, airy mix: fine-grade orchid bark, coconut husk, perlite, and a small amount of sphagnum moss.
- Repotting: Every 2 – 3 years, or when rootbound. Choose breathable, shallow pots with ample drainage.
- Fertilization: Feed every 6 – 8 weeks with a low-strength, calcium-magnesium balanced fertilizer during active growth periods.
- Propagation: Best done by careful division during repotting. Each division must include roots and at least one healthy leaf.
- Semi-Hydroponics: Possible but only with extremely controlled watering. Use LECA with low standing water levels and oxygenation.
- Pruning: Remove old or damaged foliage regularly using sterile tools.
Common Issues and How to Solve Them
- Root Rot: Caused by poorly draining substrate or overwatering. Always prioritize aeration.
- Leaf Yellowing: Often from nutrient deficiencies or poor water quality. Use distilled or rainwater where possible.
- Brown Leaf Edges: Indicate low humidity or salt accumulation. Increase humidity and flush soil periodically.
- Pests: Susceptible to spider mites, thrips, and mealybugs. Treat promptly with neem oil or insecticidal soap.
Etymology
The genus name "Anthurium" combines the Greek words "ánthos" (flower) and "ourá" (tail), referencing the tail-like spadix. The species epithet "peltigerum" comes from Latin "peltatus," meaning "shield-shaped," describing its rare peltate leaf attachment.
