Anthurium peltigerum

Anthurium peltigerum is an unusual foliage Anthurium with peltate leaves, meaning the petiole attaches underneath the blade, inside the leaf outline. This gives the leaves a shield-like outline and a distinctive vein pattern, with strong basal veins running outward through the blade.

The plant grows as an epiphytic Anthurium and can develop broad, rounded leaves as it sizes up. Mature blades are green, firm and strongly patterned by radiating veins and parallel tertiary venation, with a shield-like form that shows clearly from above.

Fast-scan traits on Anthurium peltigerum

  • Growth habit: Epiphytic Anthurium with a strong root system and broad leaves.
  • Leaf attachment: Peltate blades with the petiole attached beneath the leaf surface.
  • Venation: Basal veins travel toward the apex, with many parallel tertiary veins between them.
  • Blade character: Firm green foliage with a shield-like profile.
  • Origin: Native from southwestern Colombia to Ecuador, with Andean Colombian records.

Peltate leaf form and Andean habitat

Anthurium peltigerum is native from southwestern Colombia to Ecuador and is recorded as an epiphytic herb in wet tropical conditions. Colombian records place it in Andean regions at roughly 950–2100 m elevation, where moisture, airflow and an open root zone occur together.

The peltate blade gives the species its distinctive shape. Because the petiole joins the leaf from beneath, the veins radiate differently from cordate Anthuriums. As the plant matures, each leaf shows more shield-like geometry, especially with consistent moisture and enough light for firm petioles.

Care for Anthurium peltigerum

  • Light: Grow in bright filtered light. Strong, indirect light allows larger leaves to develop and a sturdier petiole-to-blade connection.
  • Watering: Keep the mix lightly moist, then water again once the upper layer has begun to dry. The epiphytic roots need oxygen between waterings.
  • Substrate: Use a coarse Anthurium mix with bark, coco chips, perlite, pumice and a little sphagnum or fine organic material for moisture retention.
  • Root space: A deep, airy pot or basket-style setup gives the thick roots room and reduces compaction around the base.
  • Humidity: Aim for 60–80% relative humidity with airflow. The broad blades benefit from stable humidity while expanding.
  • Temperature: Keep warm, ideally 20–28 °C. Cooler nights should stay mild and the substrate should drain quickly.
  • Feeding: Feed lightly during active growth. Large leaves need steady nutrition, but high salt levels can damage roots and margins.
  • Repotting: Repot when roots are tight or the mix has degraded. Refresh the substrate before it turns dense around the epiphytic roots.
  • Handling: Hold the blade and petiole when moving the plant. Peltate leaves can be stressed where the petiole meets the blade.
  • Propagation: Divide only established plants with multiple growth points. Keep divisions warm and evenly moist while roots re-establish.

Common issues on Anthurium peltigerum

  • Weak petioles: Check exposure level and root health. Large peltate blades need enough energy and a strong root system to hold well.
  • Yellowing after watering: Inspect the substrate for compaction. Epiphytic roots decline quickly when air spaces collapse.
  • Dry or torn new leaves: Stabilise humidity and reduce physical contact while the blade is expanding.
  • Brown spotting: Improve airflow and keep foliage drier overnight. Warm, wet leaf surfaces can encourage bacterial or fungal problems.
  • Stalled growth: Review warmth, light and root space before increasing fertiliser. This species often sizes up gradually.

Anthurium peltigerum growing notes

Anthurium peltigerum often shows its peltate attachment before it reaches mature blade size. With age, the spacing between leaves, petiole length and vein pattern become more pronounced.

Anthurium peltigerum safety notes

Anthurium peltigerum should be kept away from children and animals that may chew foliage or stems. Anthuriums contain insoluble calcium oxalate crystals that can irritate the mouth, lips, tongue, throat, skin and eyes. Use clean tools and wash hands after cutting or dividing the plant.

Anthurium peltigerum name background

The accepted botanical name is Anthurium peltigerum Sodiro, in the family Araceae. The genus name Anthurium is formed from Greek words for “flower” and “tail”, referring to the spadix. The species epithet peltigerum refers to the peltate, shield-bearing leaf form that gives this species its distinctive outline.

Anthurium peltigerum develops shield-like peltate leaves with radiating veins, firm green blades and epiphytic root growth.

I love this and so does my dog
I got one of these, to try out on my super chewer pit mix, back in early April, it's now the end of June and she's still chewing it every day, almost all day! It has gotten smaller as she's chewed it but it's not broken or splintered or hurt her teeth! Just make sure to get the right size for the dog. Small dogs maybe the smaller ones but a big girl like mine needs the large or bigger. Idk if she gives a darn about the taste or smell of it but she loves chewing on it, and hasn't felt the need to chew my shoes or wtfe since she got this. I like it so much I got more for my friend who also has a few super chewers and she gives good reports on them too. Her chewer dogs have stopped destroying her house in favor of these chews. Just try not to step on them in the dark, cause that s#!t hurts, BAD! Lol especially if you step on the chewed parts, where its rougher. The attached Pic is showing how badly she's chewed it in almost 4 months! The chewing calms her anxiety and gives her something to focus on when she's too excited, especially late at night. I will be getting more of these for her. even thinking about trying other shapes to see if they hold up as well as the wishbone shape does. She's an adult dog so idk if these would be OK for puppies, as it might Crack their teeth.

My Dog's Favorite Bone! No staining or smells on carpet. AWESOME COMPANY! Will Support You--RISK FREE PURCHASE!
Benebone rocks! It is pricey for sure, but these are superior to nylabones in my opinion. The flavor is there that you can smell when you sniff the actual toy, but it does not stain or make the carpet smell. It will slowly wear down, but it does not result in sharp edges. Does keep my puppy's attention and does withstand her chewing. She chews on this toy every day! NOTE: I did have a problem with a previous order from Benebone. The bone broke almost immediately. The company immediately contacted me and sent me TWO replacements. The replacements lasted for a long time, and neither replacement broke like the first one; I think I just got a bad one with an air bubble or other defect. I would recommend watching your puppy/dog very carefully when you first give this toy. If it holds up well after about an hour or two of chewing, it will be just fine and you'll get many hours from it (my dog must have over 10 hours of just chewing on it). If it breaks, pull it away and contact the company! They were receptive and extremely supportive! When you have a dog you really love and is a part of the family, you really want a company that supports you both. Benebone is that company. I have recommended this bone to make co-workers and friends (I think I have had approximately 7 or 8 people buy this bone because of me), and they have all purchased the bone and it has been a HUGE hit success. So it is risk free! Buy this bone for your pup or bone and see how it goes! If you don't like it or your pup doesn't use it, just contact the company and see what they will do for you.

Long lasting and safer alternative to sticks
Color: Dogwood & Calming, Size: Medium
These are great, very durable, and have lasted a very long time. Much safer for my dogs than the random sticks they find in the yard. They do get shorter with chewing eventually, but they don't break off in little chunks like I've seen with some nylon chews, and they don't splinter like wood. Medium size works well for both my 16 lb Cavalier and my 60 lb Pyrenees/Golden mix. They're both moderate-to-aggressive chewers, though size obviously affects how much damage they can do. I wish you could buy the hemp chew separately because that one is very much a favorite in my house, so after 2 years and 2 purchases, I have barely any left of the remaining hemp chew, but still 2 of the dogwood chews that neither dog is as interested in anymore. I'd love to buy a couple more of just the hemp one.

Your dog will thank you.
Color: Dogwood & Fresh Breath, Size: Large
My dogs loves to chew on these. They make a small mess but not as bad as other chews. They are food for keeping teeth clean.
