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.

A fantastic prayer companion on this parenting journey
Format: Hardcover
Kayla Craig has such a gift for naming the hard things, wrapping them up in tender promises, and buoying up our hearts with the hope she weaves through each of her prayers. I so appreciate this book of prayers as it brings deep compassion and kindness to both the hard and the happy. I did not grow up in a liturgical tradition, but I have found liturgy to be a grounding, calming thing these days. In the midst of pandemic parenting, in the midst of a world that groans and weeps, her words bring a sense of calm, a rootedness in the present moment, and the invitation to see His goodness, His lovingkindess in every single moment. For any parent that feels like they have no more to give, for those who have maybe lost the ability to pray, or wonder is it even worth it to try...let Kayla gently lend you some beautiful words that may help you continue onward.

Beautiful and Spirit-filled book of prayers!
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
I am not a parent, but I have loved following Kayla Craig’s Instagram account, @liturgiesforparents. She is a gifted writer and manages to convey complex emotions into simple prayers. There are prayers for life events, everyday occurrences, and, my favorite part, breath prayers. I especially liked the Scriptural basis for the breath prayers. As a pastor, I would not hesitate to hand this book to a family in my congregation. In fact, I may impress many copies upon families. I also read these prayers through the lens as someone who doesn’t have my own children. Most of the prayers are written for parents and from that perspective, but many could be edited to be used as prayers for children who are not your own. My only critique is that some of the prayers felt a little too long. And I would have liked more prayers that kids could say too. I received an advance copy after pre-ordering the book and agreeing to share my thoughts.

I think I’ve purchased six copies.
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
It’s just that good. I purchased this book for myself and was so blessed by it that I began buying it for the other moms in my life that I love so much! I have paced the floors of my home while my children are at school and husband at work, praying these prayers over my family. I have read these prayers through tears, joyful and sorrowful. Of all the books that line the shelves in my home, this is the one I reach for most often. It gives me words when I don’t have them, and is a pull to draw close to God as I parent my children and care for my family. I cannot recommend it enough!!

My go to for support and encouragement (for myself and others)
Format: Hardcover
In this season of life (specifically with littles) it is hard to form the words, find the space, and have the energy to pray. I have found myself borrowing the words of others who so beautifully articulate how I am thinking and feeling (specifically Kayla and this book!). This book has also been a go-to when looking for encouragement for other moms as well. I appreciate the specific prayers and liturgies for big events we all go through (first day of pre school for example) and have sent prayers to other mamas as a way to comfort, encourage, and let them know they aren't alone. Thank you Kayla for your Spirit led words that I can borrow and meditate on and use to help shine light in this world. You are a gift!
