Short internodes, persistent intact cataphylls, terete petioles and narrow sagittate blades give Anthurium recavum a clear Colombian aroid profile. Native to Colombia, this species grows as a subshrub or epiphyte in wet tropical conditions.
The blades are defined by long-running basal veins and fine raised tertiary venation. Indoors, the plant needs a breathable aroid mix, stable humidity and careful crown placement so the stem base stays open above the substrate.
Anthurium recavum grows from a compact stem with short internodes, so crown height matters in a pot. Keep the stem base just above the substrate surface and allow fresh roots to enter a loose mix instead of pressing the crown into fine, wet material.
A breathable container and a chunky substrate give the roots contact with moisture while keeping air between the particles. Let the top layer begin to dry lightly before watering again, while keeping the deeper mix evenly moist and fresh.
Anthurium recavum contains insoluble calcium oxalate crystals. Keep it away from pets and children that may chew leaves or stems, and wash hands after handling sap or damaged tissue.
Anthurium recavum Croat is a Colombian species in Araceae. It was described by Thomas B. Croat and published in Willdenowia in 2010.
With its narrow sagittate leaves, compact stem base and persistent cataphylls, Anthurium recavum needs a warm, humid setup built around root aeration.
