Although used as a forage plant in its native Andean regions of Colombia and Ecuador, this distinctive Anthurium is a real rarity as a houseplant and is always difficult to find commercially. In the wild, its leaves can reach a diameter of up to 100cm, but of course it stays smaller in indoor culture.
