Anthurium magnificum
Anthurium magnificum is a large velvet-leaved Anthurium species with broad, heart-shaped leaves, strong pale veins and a substantial petiole base. The foliage opens soft and fresh, then hardens into a deeper green surface with a firmer, heavier blade as the leaf matures.
This crown-forming aroid has a weighty look in a pot. The leaves are held outward on thick petioles, giving mature plants a wide, layered shape. Root health, warmth and even moisture are visible in the next emerging leaf, especially on larger blades with broad velvet surfaces.
Anthurium magnificum at a glance
- Growth habit: Upright epiphytic subshrub with a strong central crown and heavy petioles.
- Leaf shape: Broad cordate blades with a deep sinus and rounded upper shoulders.
- Leaf texture: Velvet surface with a firm, substantial feel as leaves harden.
- Venation: Pale veins stand clearly against the green blade and become more defined with maturity.
- Key feature: Four-angled petioles are a characteristic identification feature of this species.
Morphology, origin and indoor growth
Anthurium magnificum is an accepted Anthurium species in the Araceae family. It is native to Colombia, including Risaralda, Cundinamarca and Boyacá, where it grows in wet tropical conditions as an epiphytic subshrub. Its natural growth context points to warm roots, constant atmospheric moisture, filtered forest light and a coarse root environment.
The inflorescences follow the usual Anthurium spathe-and-spadix form, while the leaves carry the recognisable mature shape: broad, velvety, heavily veined and lifted on thick petioles. In indoor cultivation, Anthurium magnificum develops most evenly when the roots stay active in a fresh, open substrate.
Care for Anthurium magnificum
- Light: Provide bright filtered light. Strong indirect light allows larger leaves to develop and clear venation; protect the leaf surface from direct midday sun.
- Watering: Water thoroughly once the upper part of the mix has started to dry. The root ball should stay lightly moist, with enough air moving through the mix.
- Substrate: Use a chunky aroid substrate with bark, coarse coconut husk, perlite, pumice and a moderate moisture-retentive fraction.
- Humidity: Keep humidity around 60–80% where possible. Expanding leaves size up more cleanly when humidity and airflow stay balanced.
- Temperature: Maintain 20–28 °C for active growth. Cooler rooms slow root function and make wet substrate riskier.
- Feeding: Feed lightly but consistently during active growth. Large leaves draw steadily on nutrients, especially calcium, magnesium and nitrogen.
- Potting: Choose a stable pot with excellent drainage. A top-heavy crown may need a heavier cover pot or careful placement.
- Repotting: Refresh the substrate before it collapses into fine particles. Keep the crown at the same level and avoid burying the petiole bases.
- Leaf care: Dust leaves with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Velvet leaves mark easily, so avoid oils and harsh wiping.
- Propagation: Divide only mature plants with separate growth points and healthy roots. Small divisions recover slowly if root mass is limited.
Growth issues to check early
- New leaves staying small: Check light level, root space and feeding. Large foliage needs active roots and steady nutrition while the leaf is forming.
- Yellowing around the base: Inspect the lower root ball. Compacted substrate and poor drainage often show first through older leaves.
- Brown edges: Review humidity, fertiliser strength and watering consistency. Large velvet blades show dry-air stress along the margins.
- Weak petioles: Check the crown and roots for softness. Firm petioles depend on a healthy, hydrated root system.
- Leaf deformation: Sudden humidity drops, pest feeding or root stress can affect leaves while they are still expanding.
Give the plant enough space for each leaf to open freely. Crowded placement can crease new growth or rub the velvet surface before the blade has hardened.
Anthurium magnificum handling safety
Anthurium magnificum should be kept away from pets and children that may chew plant material. It contains insoluble calcium oxalate crystals that can cause oral irritation if plant material is chewed or swallowed. Keep it out of reach of pets and small children, and avoid contact with sap from cut or damaged tissue.
Anthurium magnificum botanical background
The accepted botanical name is Anthurium magnificum Linden, in the family Araceae. Anthurium refers to the tail-like spadix of the inflorescence. The epithet magnificum means magnificent or splendid.
Anthurium magnificum matures into broad velvet foliage with pale veins, four-angled petioles and a wide crown.

... Doerr began his career under the tutelage of the great Andy Grove
Author John Doerr began his career under the tutelage of the great Andy Grove, CEO of Intel, who transformed that company into the world's largest manufacturer of semiconductors. It was Andy Grove who turned a simple method “OKRs”, into a devastatingly effective business tool which became the lifeblood of Intel.
In 1978, Intel had developed the first high-performance, 16-bit microprocessor, the 8086. Soon it was getting overtaken by Motorola’s 68000 which was easier to program. Using OKRs, Intel launched “Operation Crush” to deal with this threat. The results were fast, focused and effective. “When we smacked Motorola between the eyes,” Doerr writes, “A manager there told me, ‘I couldn’t get a plane ticket from Chicago to Arizona approved in the time you took to launch your campaign.’”
Doerr left Intel to join the venture capital firm at Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, and became an early investor in Google. There he managed to entrench Andy Grove’s business tool to great effect and it is acknowledged as a key contributor to Google’s success. The results have made Doerr the 105th richest man in the US. This book describes how to use this tool.
John Doerr is the current evangelist for OKRs, OKR stands for Objectives and Key Results. As a strategist, I know the importance of knowing where you are going or as Yogi Berra pithily said: "If you don’t know where you’re going, you might not get there.” However, as Doerr writes, and as you and I know, “Ideas are easy. Execution is everything.”
OKRs are for executing. An “objective” is simply what is to be achieved, no more and no less. Key results benchmark and monitor how we get to the objective. The difference between ‘key results’ and ‘key performance indicators’ are very different. I may really be impressed that you performed well, but your efforts are only useful if you achieved the results I need.
Marissa Mayer would say of OKRs, “It’s not a key result unless it has a number.” With a number attached, OKRs are either met of not met. There is no grey area, no room for doubt. The time frame for an OKR can vary from a month to a quarter or more, but at the end of the period, they have either been met or they have not.
When the objective is clear and specific, it produces far better results than when it is vaguely worded. ‘Performance excellence,’ or ‘Customer satisfaction’ are very different when expressed as ‘98% error free’, or ‘delivered within 12 hours’.
Aside from Google and Intel, OKR adherents include IT firms such as AOL, Dropbox, LinkedIn, Oracle, Slack, Spotify, and Twitter. But adherents also include firms such as Anheuser-Busch, BMW, Disney, Exxon, and Samsung.
The simplicity of the design of OKRs hides the complexity of implementing the method. When the OKR is formulated, it will undergo iteration – this is inevitable. And this is not the problem. The problem is the commitment of the most senior managers to the discipline that is required.
Without the most senior managers' commitment this will fail, much as your previous systems have failed to produce the promised result. In a meta-analysis of seventy studies, high commitment to managing the company by objectives showed a productivity increase of 56%. Where that commitment was low, productivity increases were a mere 6%.
The problem with getting results is compounded when we are employing people to think. On an assembly line, it’s easy enough to distinguish output from activity. It gets trickier when employees are paid to think.
In a thinking environment, many of the benefits of OKRs are highlighted. A particular challenge for many in such an environment is separating the person from the activity. All too often, feedback becomes very personal leading many managers to avoid confronting non-performance. When the focus is on unequivocal results that can be tracked, then non-performance can move to an analytical discussion. After all, a performance management system is a tool, not a weapon.
The OKR is formulated as “We will achieve a certain objective as measured by the following key results. This begins at the highest appropriate level of the organization and then all below can align their OKRs to this meta-OKR.
When Bob Noyce and Andy Grove began the “Crush” project, the directive to Intel’s management level was simple and clear: “We’re going to win in 16-bit microprocessors. We’re committed to this.” This objective was given to the top one hundred people at the meeting. It was conveyed to the next level in 24 hours. Intel was close to a billion-dollar company at the time, and “it turned on a dime” - through a clear, aligned, objective and a clear required result.
The “Crush” project included top management, the entire sales force, four different marketing departments, and three geographic locations—all working together as one. It was proof of Andy Groves assertion that “Bad companies are destroyed by crisis. Good companies survive them. Great companies are improved by them.”
Great companies are not great because they have a great idea, but because their execution is great. There are no exceptions. Those who do not have excellent execution are an accident waiting to happen. Using OKRs, a successful organization can focus on the handful of initiatives that can make a real difference and defer the less urgent ones.
The very act of formulating the objective makes communication with clarity possible. Focusing on results rather than activities allows people to adjust their activities to meet the results, rather than to slavishly following performance indicators, as the environment changes.
Consider this horrifying finding: In a survey of eleven thousand senior executives and managers, a majority couldn’t name their company’s top priorities!
“There are so many people working so hard and achieving so little,” Andy Grove noted. To address this issue will require commitment to making the OKR process effective, and this commitment should not be understated, which is why it has to start from the very top.
If you are a leader of your business your commitment should start with a reading of John Doerr’s book, and then share it with your colleagues.
My personal experience with the process is best summed up by actress Mae West’s famous statement: I never said it would be easy, I only said it would be worth it.

An incredible book that will change your perspective on life.
Format: Paperback
For a long time, I have been reading the works of great poets such as Rumi and Hafez with little knowledge of other poets of the past. However, with confidence, I can say that Kalil Gibran fits into the group of the greatest poets of all time for his wonderous style of writing that invites you into his literary magic. This book guides you along lessons that cover every aspect of life- marriage, children, friendship, etc. The lessons in this book will change your view on life's greatest challenges. Even after you finish the book, you can always come back and review a chapter that you would like to refresh on. Overall, this book is great for anyone who loves poetry and can decipher old English to uncover the beautiful message that Gibran offers to his readers.

Thought provoking, beautiful poetry on life.
Format: Paperback
This book is small, but powerful. The writing is poetic indeed, which can make it hard to read (I had to reread sentences constantly to understand). But it is WELL worth the effort.
Beautiful writing. Beautiful concepts.
