About

Anthurium vittariifolium is a popular epiphytic species native to the wet forests of Ecuador and Peru. It produces long, narrow, strap-like leaves that hang vertically from the base. The leaves are leathery, dark green, and can reach over a meter in length. It is similar to Anthurium pallidiflorum but distinguished by its slightly thicker texture and distinct seed berries. It is highly valued for its elegant, cascading foliage and makes a beautiful hanging specimen.

How prices are calculated: The AA Price uses verified eBay UK completed auction data — we take the trimmed mean (removing the top and bottom 20% of prices) to produce a fair-value guide that excludes outlier sales. When recent auction data is unavailable, the AA Price falls back to the current UK retail average from tracked stockists. Retail prices are scraped from active UK plant shop listings and reflect what you would pay buying directly from a retailer today. All prices are in GBP and updated automatically.
