This species, unlike many other Anthurium species, grows directly in the soil on the forest floor, rather than as an epiphyte in trees or on rocks.

Care.

Since this Anthurium grows naturally in the ground, it needs a slightly more moisture-retaining soil mix than epiphytic Anthuriums. Feel free to use regular potting soil as a base and mix in coconut coir and organic matter to create an airy but permeable structure. The soil should be kept evenly moist to ensure good growth.

Place the plant in a bright place but without direct sun. It thrives best in temperatures between 20 and 25 °C and a humidity of 50–70% is sufficient.
