Anthurium vittarifolium - Variegated
Anthurium vittarifolium ‘Variegated’ – 4”
Anthurium vittarifolium ‘Variegated’ is a spectacular strap-leaf Anthurium prized for its exceptionally long, cascading foliage and unpredictable variegation. Its narrow green leaves can be streaked, splashed, or marbled with shades of cream, yellow, and pale green, with every leaf developing its own pattern.
As it matures, the foliage becomes increasingly long and dramatic, making this an especially beautiful plant for a hanging basket, elevated shelf, or pedestal where the leaves have room to trail freely. Despite its exotic appearance, A. vittarifolium is a relatively straightforward Anthurium when given warmth, good drainage, and consistent moisture.
This listing is for a plant in a 4” pot. Young plants may not yet show the extremely long strap-like foliage associated with mature specimens. Variegation will naturally vary from plant to plant and leaf to leaf.
Care Highlights
- Light: Bright, indirect light helps support healthy growth and strong variegation.
- Water: Water when the upper portion of the mix begins to dry. Avoid allowing the plant to remain waterlogged.
- Soil: Use a loose, airy Anthurium or aroid mix with excellent drainage.
- Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity, especially while producing new leaves.
- Growth: Epiphytic with long, pendant foliage. Give mature plants plenty of vertical space.
- Variegation: Each plant is unique, and the amount, color, and pattern of variegation can change as the plant grows.
- Pet safety: Anthuriums contain calcium oxalate crystals and should be kept away from pets and small children.
