Anthurium dolichostachyum

Dark green, broad blades give Anthurium dolichostachyum a substantial leaf shape, with a matte to slightly velvety upper surface and a paler underside. This Anthurium species is native from southern Colombia to Ecuador.

The leaves are subcoriaceous and held on rounded petioles below the broad blades. Its care is shaped by root aeration and steady moisture, with an open mix that holds some moisture while keeping oxygen around the roots.

Leaf texture and stem structure

  • Dark upper surface: Mature leaves are dark green and can appear matte to softly velvety.
  • Paler underside: The lower leaf surface is lighter and weakly glossy.
  • Subcoriaceous blades: The leaves have a firmer texture than very thin Anthurium foliage.
  • Terete petioles: Rounded, dark green petioles hold the broad blades away from the base.
  • Thicker internodes: The stem has thicker internodes and needs air around its base.
  • Inflorescence colour: Inflorescences can show a green spathe, yellow-green spadix and red berries.

Range and root behaviour

Anthurium dolichostachyum grows in wet tropical conditions from southern Colombia to Ecuador. Its epiphytic habit points to a root environment with air pockets, fast drainage and steady moisture.

In cultivation, the broad leaves need space around the plant. A stable pot and coarse substrate reduce movement around the base, while open spacing keeps the blade surface from being rubbed or folded.

Care for Anthurium dolichostachyum

  • Light: Use bright filtered light. Direct sun can scorch the dark leaf surface, while weak light can reduce leaf size and slow the plant.
  • Water: Keep the mix lightly moist through active growth, then let the upper layer dry slightly before the next watering.
  • Substrate: Choose a chunky Anthurium mix with bark, coarse fibre and mineral particles so the roots are not held in dense wet material.
  • Humidity: Higher humidity keeps new leaves from drying at the edges while they expand.
  • Temperature: Warm conditions suit the plant; cold wet mix can mark roots and slow new growth.
  • Pot stability: Use a pot that balances the broad leaves, especially once petioles lengthen.
  • Cleaning: Wipe leaves gently with a soft damp cloth when needed, avoiding pressure on fresh growth.

Common issues with Anthurium dolichostachyum

  • Leaf marking: Broad blades can bruise or crease when crowded, pressed against shelving or handled roughly.
  • Root stress: Stale, compact substrate can keep moisture trapped and reduce oxygen around the roots.
  • Slow new growth: Cold conditions after watering can pause root activity and delay leaf development.
  • Brown edges: Dry air, irregular watering or fertiliser build-up can brown the margins.
  • Torn blades: Larger leaves can split during movement or shipping; new leaves show the plant’s settled condition more clearly.

Safety for Anthurium dolichostachyum

Anthurium dolichostachyum contains irritating calcium oxalate crystals and is not pet-safe. Keep it away from chewing pets and wash your hands after cutting or handling damaged tissue.

Botanical background

Anthurium dolichostachyum Sodiro was published in Anales Univ. Centr. Ecuador 15:12 in 1901. The species belongs to Araceae and is native from southern Colombia to Ecuador. The epithet combines Greek-derived elements for long and spike, in reference to the inflorescence.

Good to have if you've never seen the iTEP exam, but don't rely on it to boost your scores
Format: Paperback
This book is good in that it comes with two practice tests: one in the beginning of the book, one in the end of the book. The grading rubric is helpful too. However, the actual guide part of the book, doesn't help too much with how to improve test scores. What I like least about this guide is that it won't tell you which questions you answered incorrectly on the practice exams. A good test prep guide will tell you what you answered incorrectly, and will tell you what logic to follow to get to the correct answer. In the reading passages, it would be nice to know where I can find evidence to justify the "correct" answer. In the grammar section, it would be nice to know which rule I'm violating. Any test guide should always come with some testing strategies. I.E. If this question is taking up too much time, skip it and go to the next one. This guide lacks simple strategies like that. Simple strategies like that could be useful when incorporated into this guide because there are certain sections on the exam that you can go back to previous questions, but some sections where the "back" button is disabled. Overall, if you've never seen an iTEP exam before, this book is certainly helpful in that it will give you an idea of what you will be testing for. However, this book alone won't help you achieve a score of 6. The table of contents itself will tell you there are only 86 pages of actual content covering test material. That's not enough to cover how to excel in the exam.

Don't buy it
Format: Paperback
It does not prepare for the real test. Using it is absolutely not enough to be approved with good grades. Too expensive for what it offers.
