Origins

Anthurium veitchii is endemic to the cloud forests of Colombia, where it grows as an epiphyte on tree trunks and branches in consistently humid, well-ventilated conditions with bright, filtered light.

Soil and Substrate

As an epiphyte, Anthurium veitchii needs a chunky, airy substrate. Our Premium Anthurium Potting Mix works beautifully as the blend of bark, perlite, coco chips, and charcoal keeps roots oxygenated and prevents the soggy conditions that cause rot, while still holding enough moisture to support lush new growth.
