Anthurium cirinoi ‘Velvet’ is a rare velvet‑leaf aroid from Colombia. Its foliage is narrow and velvety, rich dark green with subtle lighter venation on new leaves; the growth habit is compact, forming a compact cluster of leaves that emerge from a tight stem.

This species originates from high‑altitude cloud‑forest understoreys, where it receives filtered light, cool nights, and high humidity 

Native to:
Native to the cloud‑forest regions of Colombia, typically found as an epiphyte or lithophyte under the tree canopy. Leaves are narrow, heart‑shaped, densely covered in a velvet texture, and emerge a brighter shade of green before maturing to dark velvet.

Water:
Keep the substrate evenly moist but avoid waterlogging. Use a well-draining mix and always let the top third of the mix dry before watering again.

Light:
Bright, filtered light is ideal—no direct sun. 

Humidity:
Prefers high humidity (70 – 80%). Use a humidity tray, room humidifier or terrarium/cabinet setting.

Temperature:
Thrives in cool‑intermediate temperatures. Daytime between 15 – 25 °C, nights can drop to 10 – 15 °C. Avoid exposure below 10 °C; typical UK indoor temps suit it well.
