Imposing Velvets and Squared Stems

Anthurium magnificum is famous for its massive, square-petioled velvet leaves that have a stark, shield-like presence. The variegated cultivar adds striking sectoral cream-to-yellow marbling across the leaf. Described by Linden, magnificum is distinguished from other velvet species by its broader leaf proportions and distinct C-shaped or square petioles. In the wet forests of Colombia, these broad leaves capture maximum diffused light. In culture, the variegated areas are delicate, requiring high humidity and careful placement to avoid drafty spots.
