Anthurium radicans is a compact Brazilian Anthurium with a creeping stem and bullate, heart-shaped leaves. The foliage has a raised, quilted texture, with deep green upper surfaces held close to the pot as the rhizome moves across the substrate.
Native to eastern Bahia in Brazil, this species grows in wet tropical biome as a perennial or lithophyte. In cultivation, give the creeping stem surface space, steady light moisture and an airy substrate that keeps the rhizome close to the top of the mix.
Anthurium radicans develops from a rhizomatous stem that travels near the substrate surface, producing textured leaves along the creeping base. The bullate leaf surface can trap dust and hide small pests along the raised texture.
Because the stem sits close to the substrate, planting depth matters. The rhizome should remain near the surface with coarse material around it, so moisture can move through the pot without keeping the stem sealed in wet, compact mix.
Anthurium radicans is not pet-safe. Its tissues contain insoluble calcium oxalate crystals that can irritate the mouth and digestive tract if chewed. Keep the plant away from pets and children, and avoid contact with sap if your skin is sensitive.
Anthurium radicans is an accepted Anthurium species described by K. Koch and Haage and published in 1855. It is native to eastern Bahia, Brazil, and grows in wet tropical biome. Creeping-rhizomatous growth and bullate, cordate leaves define the species in cultivation.
As the rhizome advances across the substrate, Anthurium radicans produces compact heart-shaped leaves with a raised bullate surface.
