Anthurium clarinervium is native to the tropical forests of southern Mexico, particularly Chiapas and Oaxaca. In its natural habitat, it grows as an epiphyte, clinging to tree trunks and branches, but it also thrives in soil.

Anthurium clarinervium care guide

Light requirements:
Prefers medium to bright indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.

Feeding:
Feed every 2 months from March to September with a balanced, organic fertiliser to support healthy growth.

Soil:
Requires a loose, well-draining mix. A blend of houseplant compost with orchid bark and perlite works well.

Humidity:
Loves high humidity. Mist regularly, use a humidifier, or place on a tray of pebbles and water.

Pet safety:
Toxic if ingested — keep out of reach of pets.

Propagation:
Best propagated by division or stem cuttings, though it can be slow to establish.
