Anthurium dolichostachyum

Dark green, broad blades give Anthurium dolichostachyum a substantial leaf shape, with a matte to slightly velvety upper surface and a paler underside. This Anthurium species is native from southern Colombia to Ecuador.

The leaves are subcoriaceous and held on rounded petioles below the broad blades. Its care is shaped by root aeration and steady moisture, with an open mix that holds some moisture while keeping oxygen around the roots.

Leaf texture and stem structure

  • Dark upper surface: Mature leaves are dark green and can appear matte to softly velvety.
  • Paler underside: The lower leaf surface is lighter and weakly glossy.
  • Subcoriaceous blades: The leaves have a firmer texture than very thin Anthurium foliage.
  • Terete petioles: Rounded, dark green petioles hold the broad blades away from the base.
  • Thicker internodes: The stem has thicker internodes and needs air around its base.
  • Inflorescence colour: Inflorescences can show a green spathe, yellow-green spadix and red berries.

Range and root behaviour

Anthurium dolichostachyum grows in wet tropical conditions from southern Colombia to Ecuador. Its epiphytic habit points to a root environment with air pockets, fast drainage and steady moisture.

In cultivation, the broad leaves need space around the plant. A stable pot and coarse substrate reduce movement around the base, while open spacing keeps the blade surface from being rubbed or folded.

Care for Anthurium dolichostachyum

  • Light: Use bright filtered light. Direct sun can scorch the dark leaf surface, while weak light can reduce leaf size and slow the plant.
  • Water: Keep the mix lightly moist through active growth, then let the upper layer dry slightly before the next watering.
  • Substrate: Choose a chunky Anthurium mix with bark, coarse fibre and mineral particles so the roots are not held in dense wet material.
  • Humidity: Higher humidity keeps new leaves from drying at the edges while they expand.
  • Temperature: Warm conditions suit the plant; cold wet mix can mark roots and slow new growth.
  • Pot stability: Use a pot that balances the broad leaves, especially once petioles lengthen.
  • Cleaning: Wipe leaves gently with a soft damp cloth when needed, avoiding pressure on fresh growth.

Common issues with Anthurium dolichostachyum

  • Leaf marking: Broad blades can bruise or crease when crowded, pressed against shelving or handled roughly.
  • Root stress: Stale, compact substrate can keep moisture trapped and reduce oxygen around the roots.
  • Slow new growth: Cold conditions after watering can pause root activity and delay leaf development.
  • Brown edges: Dry air, irregular watering or fertiliser build-up can brown the margins.
  • Torn blades: Larger leaves can split during movement or shipping; new leaves show the plant’s settled condition more clearly.

Safety for Anthurium dolichostachyum

Anthurium dolichostachyum contains irritating calcium oxalate crystals and is not pet-safe. Keep it away from chewing pets and wash your hands after cutting or handling damaged tissue.

Botanical background

Phenomenal. A must-read!
Format: Paperback
I first learned about this book only a week ago when visiting my sister for Thanksgiving in Eugene, Oregon. We went to the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art where I saw some work on display by the author, and there was a copy of her book available to look at, so I perused through and decided to buy it and read it. I'm so glad that I did! This is an incredible, poetic story that spans four generations, multiple wars and conflicts, and examines the fragility of the author's relationship with her parents and with her sense of place and motherhood. This book is one of the best I've read in a long time, and the art is moving and beautiful. It gave me new insight into the struggles of refugee life, and created a truly relatable narrative. I devoured this story in one Saturday. I highly recommend it.

A well composed memoir
Format: Paperback
Full review on nguyentoread.com The Best We Could Do is Thi Bui's graphic memoir. Thi was born in Vietnam three months before the Vietnam War reached what we consider to be the end of the war. She came to America with her family in 1978. Bui's memoir spans multiple generations. In learning of her mother's and father's pasts, we learn the history of their parents. We see the struggles and pains of two people from very different walks of life trying to live during a time of war and chaos. We see glimpses of the agony everyone in the middle of the Vietnam War faced. Those who were not directly involved on either side but were caught in the middle of larger powers at war. This memoir more closely details the lives of her parents leading up to them arriving in America and making their life there. I was unsure if this memoir would focus largely on the experience of being a Vietnamese immigrant in America. There were parts that showed how it was for Bui's parents in a country where tensions were still high after the Vietnam War, where discrimination largely due to that was overt, and where degrees were not recognized and people who had spent their lives working and creating careers for themselves were not qualified for most work and had to hurdle multiple challenges to learn a language and complete education all over again if they wanted to provide a better life for their children. What Bui so beautifully captures in this memoir is the why behind how her parents were in raising her. Although Bui was born in Vietnam she was young when her family arrived in America. So I think her experience is one that many first generation Vietnamese-American people of my generation can understand and sympathize with. The wanting to know why their parents are the way they are but unable to ask because many have parents, like Bui's mother, who reluctantly share their stories and don't allow their children that glimpse that could help them better understand. In the panel which was most poignant to me, Bui draws her father as he looks over her work that would become The Best We Could Do. He says "You know how it was for me. And why later I wouldn't be... normal."
