Unique Anthurium that is one of the only ones in the genus to have shield-shaped, or "peltate," leaves
This means that the petiole is attached to the underside of the leaf, slightly above the center, instead of at the base. The name "peltigerum" means "bearing a shield" and refers to this peculiar leaf shape.
The leaves of Anthurium peltigerum also have a slight cup-shaped shape, especially prominent on young leaves, and are covered with prominent leaf veins. This vein structure, with both basal and parallel tertiary veins, gives the leaf an appearance reminiscent of a turtle shell, which has given the plant the nickname "turtle shell anthurium" in English-speaking countries.
The leaves of young plants are light green and over time turn a darker green shade with a velvety surface. Anthurium peltigerum is an impressively large plant with leaves that can reach up to 90 cm in length and 60 cm in width. The leaves are held up by strong stems that can grow up to 150 cm long.
Botanical description
In its natural environment, Anthurium peltigerum typically grows as an epiphyte at altitudes between 400 and 2100 meters above sea level, meaning it prefers slightly cooler temperatures than many other tropical plants. It is endemic to Ecuador and Colombia in South America.
Care
Thrives best in well-drained aroid soil and indirect light. Prefers high humidity and even room temperatures around 20-25 degrees. The soil should be kept slightly moist, without the plant standing in water. In winter, extra light should be provided using plant lighting to ensure it thrives.
