From the dense rain forests of southern Mexico, this Anthurium adds an exotic feeling in any setting. Large delicate, dark, velvet heart shaped leaves with bright iridescent white veining – this is a true show stopper. Although slow growing it is an easy plant to maintain. Generating flowers on long stems that have the characteristic “spathe and spandix” of Anthurium genus, this plant is primarily appreciated for its dramatic foliage, producing numerous, long lasting leaves per year. You’ll be amazed at their texture – does it feel like leather or cardboard? And the silvery, slightly fuzzy-hairy features only add to the quirk.

A real must-have for all plant lovers! Anthurium Clarinervium contains both male and female sexes on its flowers.
