ANTHURIUM VILLENAORUM, RARE Species, Triangular Petiole, Aroid Plant
Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:8203369 |
As Anthurium species go, they don't get much rarer than this! Anthurium villenaorum is a new discovery from Peru that has only recently become available in the United States and hasn't even been formally described yet. The leaf is beautiful, with white markings that are reminiscent of Anthurium regale, another Peruvian beauty. What makes A. villenaorum especially striking, though, is the petiole, which is triangular in cross-section, a very rare ch...aracteristic in anthuriums. A. villenaorum is a relatively compact grower, and my largest plant produces leaves around 15" high and 9" across. Although this species grows well, it doesn't seem to be particularly fast, and smaller plants definitely take time to reach full size. It's important to note that the intensity of the white markings typically increases as plants mature.
Anthurium villenaorum is native to Peru at elevations of 1500-2500 feet, a very rough estimate based on limited information. This species seems to prefer warm conditions and grows well in my greenhouse at temperatures that can reach the low to mid-90's during the summer and the low 50-s during the winter. I grow this species in a potting mix that holds moisture but also provides good drainage. To this point, I've been using loosely packed sphagnum moss with good results.
Anthurium villenaorum is still rare in cultivation and not offered commonly for sale on eBay. You are bidding on the plant in the third and fourth photos, a healthy seed-grown plant in a 2.75" pot.***Shipments to addresses outside the United States are at the buyer's risk.
