About

Anthurium wendlingeri is a famous and visually stunning epiphytic subshrub native to the wet tropical forests of Central and South America, ranging from Southeast Nicaragua to Northwest Colombia. It grows with a compact crown, producing long, strap-like leaves that hang vertically. The leaves are thick, leathery, dark green, and glossy, lacking a broad heart-shaped blade. Its defining feature is the extraordinary, elongated, spiraled spadix that hangs down below the foliage in a tight spiral like a corkscrew.

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.

No eBay auction history available yet for this plant. Data is collected automatically as sales appear on eBay UK.
