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.

A Great Work on the Dynamics of the Human Condition
Format: Hardcover
Irvin Yalom, Professor Emeritus at Standford in psychiatry, has written a masterful book on the human condition (published in 1980).
"Existential Psychotherapy" is singularly one of the best books I have ever read. Why? Yalom has combined 1) his intellectual insights in psychology with 2) his practical observations in therapy with 3) existential thought. He seeks to show that much of the anxiety we face as human beings, and seek comfort for in psychotherapy (or religion), originates from the existential facts of being a mortal, free being. He focuses on four main areas:
death (our inner structure will go to nothing),
freedom (we are forced to make momentous decisions without full information),
isolation (we are alone in many fundamental ways) and
meaninglessness (we don't have a clear picture of what it really means).
From literature, psychology, philosophy and some theology (Tillich), Yalom has created a definitive text on what it means to open our eyes fully to our existential situation. It is not a depressive text, as the goal is to come to terms with our condition. And ironically, facing the truth of death, for example, makes life richer. This is much more than a self-help book, it is a philosophical-psychological masterpiece.
I have a Ph.D. in the philosophy of religion and have published several articles in leading journals and don't give out the kind of praise I am giving here easily. It is one of the best books I have ever read, and I think a wide range of people would profit from it. Yet it's a difficult book, not an easy self-help read. But Yalom is such a clear writer that most readers could follow it. When he uses technical psychological or philosophical terms, he usually explains them. Otherwise, the dictionary must be used.
This text would be helpful for people in the helping professions in giving an existential aspect to their work. Religious thinkers and those interested in philosophy should pick it up at any cost. Any educated person could profit from it greatly. It's a long text, and I had to break it up by carefully reading some from each of the main four parts simultaneously to get a view of the whole. It's a bit dry at times, but thoughtful, perceptive, educational in many fields, --it's ....wisdom literature....I can't think of a higher compliment.

The best of its kind.
As a clinical psychologist who has been practicing, doing research on, and teaching assessment and therapy for more than 25 years I have encountered many books and many more articles and research papers on psychotherapy. While some have real value, most do little more than take up space and help the people who wrote them advance their careers. All too rarely one comes across a book that changes one's way of looking at things and helps one to approach this field in a new and qualitatively better fashion. Yalom's book on Existential Psychotherapy is one such book. I first read this when I was in graduate school in the early 1980's and just learning about psychotherapy, and about life. This book opened my eyes and gave me an over-arching way of thinking about myself, my patients, and the things that I was doing. Unlike most texts on therapy, it was not limited to the parochial "theoretical orientations" and mechanistic models of therapy technique that I was learning then and have seen proliferate ever since. Since this time I have re-read this book many times, and each time I have gotten more from it.
Yalom tries to go through the collected wisdom of mankind, not just in the narrow world of scientific psychology, but in philosophy, art, and religion, to explain how everyone must face certain existential realities such a mortality, temporality, resonsibility and isolation, and how the struggle to face these basic issues underlies many of the symptoms and complaints that lead people to seek the help of mental health professionals. Unfortunately, as Yalom points out, all too often we fail to see these as such, and offer help in the form of superficial, pseudoscientific psychologizing, technical trivialities and medications that often do more harm than good. While, used humbly and wisely, these things are not without value, their value is often fatally limited by their failure to see the larger context of life and its challenges. Once having read and really thought about Yalom's book, that becomes much harder to do; and thereby inevitably enriches one's practice and one's life.
Regardless what kinds of therapies and what kinds of patients one works with - or even if one's practice is limited primarily to assessment or research - this book provides a philosophical and conceptual bedrock that can inform and enrich what one does. I am so happy to see that this book is still in print, and I would encourage anyone who plans to make a living trying to be seriously involved in other people's lives to avail themselves of this book. It is a treasure and a masterpiece. I intend to us it in my classes this year and for as long as it remains in print.

Very Interesting and Well-Written
Format: Kindle
This is a very interesting and well-written book that discusses philosophy as well as psychology, while also providing numerous vignettes from actual cases, that demonstrate the implementation of the author's ideas. Highly recommended.

This is a really great book.
Format: Hardcover
I am a layperson so those who read this review should consider that. I have read this book slowly, very slowly and as a layperson have found it to be so very, very enlightening. This material has such depth and there were sections that I read that caused me to put the book down and consider what I had just encountered. Life is not a simple journey especially when we pick up so much detritus on the way. For years, I knocked on so many variously colored doors - entering and finding myself wanting...not them, mind you, but myself. Reading this - pointed me to a gate that swung open to a garden area, albeit, very overgrown, untended. It is here now that I work - some of what I thought were weeds are not. Some of what I thought were flowers are not. I just want to be free and am willing to accept that responsibility. Thank you, Dr. Yalom....you sage of my generation.

Great book for growth
Format: Hardcover
Deep and thoughtful book, worth the investment for any training psychotherapist or social worker. Yalom is a leader in the field and one whom I trust. I have my PhD in psychology and can't suggest this enough. .
