Anthurium papillilaminum – The Velvet Jewel of Panama 💎🌿

Anthurium papillilaminum is a rare velvet-leaf species native to Panama, prized for its deeply sultry, heart-shaped leaves and intense bronze to dark emerald tones. With a luxurious, velvety surface and crisp white venation, each leaf feels like a piece of living art. Compact and slow-growing, this species is a crown jewel in any serious aroid collection.

Key Features:

✔ Thick, velvety foliage in deep green, bronze, or even black hues
✔ Distinctive white veining across heart-shaped leaves
✔ Naturally compact and elegant growth habit
✔ Highly collectible and rare in cultivation
✔ Originates from the humid cloud forests of Panama

Care Instructions:

• Light: Loves bright, indirect light – no harsh sun on those velvet leaves

• Watering: Keep soil lightly and consistently moist – water when top 2–3cm is dry

• Humidity: Needs high humidity (70–85%) – ideal for greenhouse cabinets or enclosed spaces

• Soil: Use a very airy mix – orchid bark, perlite, sphagnum moss, and coco chunks

• Feeding: Fertilise lightly every 4–6 weeks with a balanced or foliage-focused feed

• Temperature: Prefers warmth (20–26°C) – protect from cold, drafts, or fluctuations

• Growth: Slow-growing and sensitive – best left undisturbed once settled

🌿 Tip: This plant thrives in stable, high-humidity environments – terrarium or cabinet setups are ideal for long-term health and colour intensity.
