A well-established specimen of a legendary epiphytic Anthurium from the cloud forests of South America. It produces elongated lanceolate leaves with a cordiform base, narrow basal lobes, a prominent midrib, fine secondary venation, and a semi-velvety surface — already expressing the pendulous habit this species is celebrated for.

• Light: Bright filtered light with up to 60–70% shade cloth; avoid direct sun, which can scorch the elongated leaf surface.
• Temperature: 59–77°F (15–25°C); an intermediate grower that performs best with stable temperatures, good airflow, and no cold drafts.
• Humidity: 75–90%; very high humidity is essential to maintain the characteristic velvety texture and support healthy leaf elongation.
• Watering: Water thoroughly when the top layer of substrate begins to dry; avoid waterlogging while ensuring roots do not dry out completely.

Additional Notes

Best grown in a chunky, well-draining aroid mix with excellent aeration; a hanging basket or elevated mount allows the pendulous leaves to develop freely. The 'Esmeralda' cultivar is a select form prized for its refined venation and exceptional leaf elongation. Offered as a well-established plant at 30–40 cm — ready to grow on and impress. Ships bare root and well-established.
