Anthurium moodeanum – A Rare Anthurium with Leathery, Deep-Hued Foliage
Intriguing Foliage and Growth Habit
Anthurium moodeanum is a highly sought-after species with deeply veined, dark-toned leaves that evolve from a rich green to an intense burgundy-chocolate hue as they mature. Its coriaceous (leathery) texture gives the leaves a firm, glossy appearance, making it distinct from velvet-textured Anthuriums. With its upright growth and epiphytic tendencies, it thrives when provided with proper support, making it a bold addition for collectors.
Key Characteristics of Anthurium moodeanum
- Foliage: Elongated, heart-shaped, leathery leaves with pronounced veins.
- Growth Habit: Upright, epiphytic growth with a preference for climbing surfaces.
- Size: Can reach up to 90 cm in height, with broad leaves expanding over time.
- Inflorescence: Produces a pink spathe with a pale pink to white spadix.
- Toxicity: Contains calcium oxalate crystals – toxic if ingested by pets or children.
Essential Care Guide
- Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Can tolerate lower light but grows slower.
- Watering: Water when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Use filtered water to avoid mineral buildup.
- Humidity: Requires humidity above 50%. If dry air is an issue, use a humidifier.
- Temperature: Thrives between 18°C and 29°C. Keep away from cold drafts.
- Soil and Potting: Needs an airy, well-draining mix with orchid bark and perlite. Repot every 1-2 years.
- Fertilizing: Apply a diluted, balanced fertilizer every 4-6 weeks.
- Propagation: Best propagated through stem cuttings with aerial roots.
- Pruning: Remove damaged or yellowing leaves to maintain plant health.
Common Issues and How to Fix Them
- Root Rot: Caused by overwatering. Ensure proper drainage and avoid waterlogged soil.
- Pests: Watch for spider mites, mealybugs, and thrips. Treat with neem oil or insecticidal soap if needed.
- Leaf Curling or Browning: Often due to low humidity. Increase moisture levels with a humidifier.
Additional Notes
- Best Growth Support: Prefers moss poles or trellises to encourage vertical growth.
- Leaf Texture: The coriaceous (leathery) surface makes the foliage firm and durable.
Etymology: The Origin of the Name
Anthurium moodeanum is named after John Mood, a botanist and cultivator who first documented this species.

Fantastic toy for GSD and dogs that like to play tug-o-war
Pattern Name: Dog
We got this 6 months ago and it is our German Shepherd's favorite outside toy. It is the first thing she runs to when she goes outside. She will try to pull it off the rope with all her strength until she eventually launches it and has to go chase it down. She's obsessed!
She is a very powerful chewer and destroys even the most durable rubber toys. It isn't a matter of if she will destroy it, but when. This toy has lasted so much longer than other toys, even high end 'indestructible' toys that cost 3 or 4 times as much.
After a 6 month battle with the toy, she has won. I think our main mistake was that we didn't bring it in during the snow storms. The freezing temperatures must have made it more brittle, since we immediately noticed a crack start to form on the green ball as she played with it in the snow, which slowly spread until she we able to completely rip it off.
I am definitely buying another one!
A couple tips for strong chewers
-Supervision is key at first for smart dogs. Our GSD quickly realized that the easiest way to get the ball is to chew through the thin bungie ropes. However, we were there to redirect her to the ball. After a few times, she stopped trying to chew through the bungie rope part. She must have realized that it is more fun to chase and pull on the ball than simply trying to solve the problem of how to get it.
-Make sure the ball hung high enough up where your dog can't casually stand there and chew on the ball or ropes with their powerful back teeth. This doesn't mean hang it super high so they have to jump for it, but just so they can't hold it without there being some resistance on the rope. If there is some resistance they will want to pull back instead of destructively chew.
-Bring it inside during extra cold weather.

Not durable
Pattern Name: Dog, Pattern Name: Dog
Took 15 minutes to put up. Took less than 30 seconds for him to pull off bungee. Great concept but ball didn’t hold up.

Potentially incredibly dangerous, but also very fun
Pattern Name: Dog, Pattern Name: Dog
Edit to add. We've swapped out the toy for a rope with a ball on it (last picture) and it is much safer now. He's over 75 pounds now and it is holding up fine to the tugging
***
Our 6½ month old puppy likes playing tug much more than any of us in the family do. He immediately fell in love with this toy. We attached the severed arm of another toy to it, which has a squeaker and that made it even more exciting. I want to give it more than 3 stars, but I can't because as is, it really is kind of dangerous. Because of the large loop the ball is attached to, a dog could get seriously hurt. My little (ok, he's not little since he's over 70 pounds already) guy shows in the video one way it could be a problem. They can get a leg caught in the loop, and get twisted up, harming their leg. Thankfully he didn't this time but it could easily happen. Worse, a dog might get their neck in the loop and have fatal results. All it would take to fix it is a thicker, shorter, single cord going from the main piece to the toy instead of the thin loop. We are going to fix it, but as is, PLEASE don't let your dog play with it if you aren't right there to help them.

Great chew toy for large, tough chewers
Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)
My dog is a heavy, strong chewer over 100 lbs who will chew this for an hour. It lasts, keeps him occupied and the smell isn’t terrible. Love the large size for a larger dog. Great buy.
