Anthurium giganteum comes from South America, Colombia to Guatemala and can be cultivated in terrariums. It tolerates warm and humid conditions in the terrarium. Temperatures of 19-26°C and high humidity are ideal. Also a nice houseplant. You will receive a young plant in a 5cm pot.

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.
The product photos show examples of the plant. You will receive a copy that corresponds to the product photos in terms of size, shape and colour.
