ANTHURIUM LUXURIANS, Fantastic RARE Aroid, Spectacular Corrugated Leaves
Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:31117120 |
Anthuriums with corrugated leaves have always fascinated me, but not all of them are easy to grow. Many species with rough-textured (rugose) leaves seem to require very high humidity, and even a brief period of low humidity can cause the leaves to shrivel. Thankfully, Anthurium luxurians is both stunningly beautiful and easy to grow. The leaves, which can reach 16" or more in length, are heavily corrugated, and plants grow well in cultivation when provided with good humi...dity and consistent moisture at the roots. A mature specimen will be the star of any plant collection.Photos of A. luxurians can be found on David Scherberich's excellent web site athttp://www.aroidpictures.fr/GENERA/ANTHURIUMA-L/anthluxurians.htmlAnthurium luxurians occurs in Colombia, though the elevation range is not well known. For me, it tolerates a fairly wide temperature range from the low 50s through the mid 90s, though winter temperatures below 60 produce noticeably slower growth. Lack of moisture in the potting mix will cause the leaf edges to brown, and it's important to maintain moisture around the roots at all times. This species requires a potting mix that holds moisture but doesn't stay too soggy. I use loosely packed sphagnum moss, which seems to work well.This is a great chance to own a truly magnificent Anthurium! The first two photos show the spectacular corrugated leaves of a mature plant. You are bidding on the plant in photos 3-7, a vigorous, healthy specimen in a 3.25" pot with the larger leaf just over 7" long.***Shipments to addresses outside the United States are at the buyer's risk.
