Anthurium magnificum
Anthurium magnificum is a Colombian velvet Anthurium with broad heart-shaped leaves, pale veins and four-angled petioles. New leaves open soft, then harden into darker, firmer velvet leaves.
The four-sided petioles help separate it from similar velvet Anthuriums. They have narrow winged edges that become especially noticeable toward the upper part.
Velvet leaves and four-angled petioles
- Growth: Colombian epiphytic Anthurium with a central crown.
- Leaf shape: Broad heart-shaped leaves with a deep sinus and rounded upper shoulders.
- Surface: Velvet green leaves that become firmer with maturity.
- Veins: Pale main veins are clear on mature leaves.
- Petioles: Four-angled petioles with narrow winged edges.
- Mature plant: A wider crown as the leaves broaden and the root system develops.
Colombian forest origin
Anthurium magnificum is native to Colombia, including Risaralda, Cundinamarca and Boyacá. It grows in wet tropical conditions, often with roots exposed to air rather than buried in dense soil. Indoors, it grows best with warm roots, filtered light and an open substrate.
New velvet leaves expand best when light, warmth and watering stay steady. The plant responds well when the root ball stays lightly moist, the mix stays airy and the crown is not buried during repotting.
Growing broad mature leaves
- Light: Provide bright filtered light. Direct midday sun can scar the velvet leaf.
- Watering: Water once the upper mix has started to dry, keeping the root ball lightly moist.
- Substrate: Use a chunky aroid mix with bark, coco chips or coarse fibre, perlite or pumice, and a modest moisture-holding part.
- Humidity: Around 60–80% humidity helps large new leaves expand with fewer creases.
- Temperature: Keep warm, around 20–28 °C, while new leaves are developing.
- Feeding: Feed lightly but regularly during active growth.
- Potting: Use a stable pot with strong drainage as the crown widens.
- Repotting: Refresh the substrate before it breaks down. Keep the crown at the same level and keep petiole bases above the mix.
- Leaf care: Dust mature leaves with a soft damp cloth. Leaf oils and hard wiping can mark velvet foliage.
- Propagation: Divide mature plants only when they have separate growth points and healthy roots.
Common Anthurium magnificum issues
- Small new leaves: Check root health, light, warmth and feeding while the next leaf is forming.
- Yellowing near the base: Check the lower mix for compaction, poor drainage or stale moisture.
- Brown edges: Review humidity, watering consistency, fertiliser strength and mineral buildup.
- Weak petioles: Root stress, crown softness or dehydration can reduce petiole firmness.
- Leaf deformation: Sudden humidity drops, pest feeding or root stress can affect soft expanding leaves.
- Water-soaked edge marks: Keep the leaves dry and improve airflow if translucent marks start spreading.
Flowers on Anthurium magnificum
When mature, this species can produce a green to reddish spathe and a dark violet-toned spadix.
Plant safety
Keep this Anthurium away from pets and small children. Its calcium oxalate crystals can irritate the mouth, throat, skin and eyes, especially when sap from cut or damaged tissue is handled.
Botanical name
Anthurium refers to the spadix. The species name magnificum means magnificent or splendid.
Bright filtered light, fresh open substrate and steady warmth support broad velvet leaves on firm four-angled petioles.

many feelings
Format: Kindle
I didn’t know what this book was about when I first started reading.. one thing I felt at the beginning was…amazement? I love writing letters, something I don’t do often, I recently bought this beautiful fountain pen, I wanted to start small, writing greeting cards to family and friends, birthday cards, thank yous, etc. what I didn’t expect is the emotional toll this book had on me, and other members of my family who read the book for our book club. The subject matters, death of a child, husband dying of cancer, the significance of May 29th, all impacted our family, and so, as I read this book, I had to put it down several times because I had to cry, compose myself, think of regrets I have, and remember.
How amazing it is that Sybil was able to write all about the death of her child to her dead child. I always say that writing it down on paper releases your burden in your head…it is true, I think writing letters, even the ones she didn’t send helped her quiet her head, at least for a while. I truly love this book. I have been borrowing books from Libby to read for our book club for a very long time, there have been books that I fell in love with, and always thought if I want to read them again I’ll just borrow them again, this book is the first one that I want to own physically to put on my shelf and know that I have it to read over and over again when I want to reflect and then quiet my head. ( This is the longest review I’ve written about a book I’ve read, I hope it makes sense).

Successful Epistolary Novel
Format: Kindle
When we first meet Sybil Van Antwerp, age 73, she is retired from law and spends a lot of time writing letters and emails. She also reads a lot and is interested in what her correspondents are reading. She has children and grandchildren, but she lives alone in Annapolis, Maryland, and doesn’t see her family very often. During the course of reading her correspondence, we very gradually learn about Sybil—her history and her present troubles. She is a complicated character and several times in reading The Correspondent I paused to ask myself what I thought of Sybil—did I like her? What about her kept me from the immediate response a reader usually has about the main character of a book? Even at the end of the book, I am still ambivalent about Sybil, but I certainly understand her much better.
Sybil, herself, and the book have so many layers. There is true depth to the story. My book club took deep dives into it over a period of three weeks, and I don’t think we have sampled all the topics represented in this book. It is a wonderful novel for stimulating meaningful discussion.
Neurodivergence is not called out or named, but it comes to mind in thinking about Harry, a child who is the son of a judge, a former colleague of Sybil. The boy doesn’t quite fit in socially with his peers, but he is brilliant. Sybil makes the perfect “pen pal” for Harry because they have some of the same characteristics. As a child she was punished for “insolence and rudeness,” but her parents were just trying to mold her into a polite young lady as expected by society. She was blunt and didn’t have many friends.
There are so many other issues worthy of discussion, but they would most certainly bring up spoilers. I won’t do that to you. Readers should have the opportunity to see the story gradually emerge from the letters, including a continuing one that the reader doesn’t know to whom Sybil is writing. Sybil sets the word “stone” for secrets, and there are stones in this book making it a puzzle, a mystery of sorts—for the reader.
As a reviewer, I tend to go quickly from one book to the next as soon as I have composed and published my thoughts. Characters in various books can even blend together. This is not the case with The Correspondent. The characters in this book, especially Sybil, have stayed with me and come to mind frequently as I go through my day. Virginia Evans has created a fictional world with impact. Just as Sybil needed time (years in her case) to process the events of her life, the reader will need time to process them and their effects on Sybil as well.

Love this book!!
I just finished *The Let Them Theory* by Mel Robbins, and I can honestly say it completely shifted my mindset. The concept is so simple—“let them”—but it’s incredibly powerful. Instead of stressing over what other people think, say, or do, this book teaches you to let go of that control and focus on yourself instead.
What I loved most is how practical it is. It’s not full of complicated advice—it’s something you can actually apply in real life, whether it’s relationships, friendships, or everyday stress. I found myself reflecting on so many situations where I was wasting energy trying to control things I simply can’t.
Since reading it, I feel lighter, less anxious, and more in control of my own life. It’s honestly a reminder that peace comes from within, not from trying to manage everyone else.
If you’re someone who overthinks, people-pleases, or struggles with letting go, I highly recommend this book. It’s simple, but it hits deep.

Four Stars: Insightful and Impactful Reading
Format: Hardcover
This book provides clarity in human relationships pertaining to workplace, family, and social circles. Author Mel Robbins explains the human tendency of needing to belong and bond, having personal freedoms and space to make informed choices, and providing coping strength to not feel over burdened due to work or perceived social obligations or human stereotypes. "Let Them", "Let Me" is a series of strategies/skills that help one regain focus on finite time and energies to have more productive personal relationships and work outcomes. The book teaches one to de-prioritize things and channel emotions into actionable goals to set healthy boundaries in selection of friends, career paths, and effectively resolving conflicts. Some chapters are overly redundant (and precludes a fifth star rating); however, it's a worthwhile book that definitively helps me set more impactful goals in 2026 and beyond.
