Anthurium podophyllum is an impressive species with a most unusual leaf form, and one of the largest and fastest climbing varieties. Mature foliage is best described as lacy or frilly, each leaf can grow up to 3' long and wide when allowed to climb! Its pinnate lobed leaves have a leathery texture, glossy dark green on the surface with a semi glossy underside, sitting atop long petioles. The larger the plant grows, the more pinnatified the leaves become. Anthurium podophyllum can grow as either an epiphyte on the sides and branches of trees where its roots cascade down the side making a very attractive display on their own; as an epipetric species growing attached to stone; or as a terrestrial species. Anthurium species are known to be highly variable and not every leaf of every specimen will always appear the same.

~Do Not let Anthurium sit in excess water. Anthurium are prone to rot if left with “wet feet”. Once watered, make sure to drain any extra water.

~Do Not place in full sun or extreme high light. In the wild Anthurium either grow in the understory or among the forest floor where they would receive bright but filtered sunlight.

~Anthurium need a well draining potting mix. If you repot your Anthurium make sure it is an airy substrate.
