🌿 Anthurium Villenaorum Care Guide

The Anthurium villenaorum is a velvety Peruvian beauty — compact, heart-shaped, and full of quiet charm. With its plush, quilted leaves and pale silver veins, it’s like a smaller, softer version of the Crystallinum, making it a perfect choice for collectors who love texture and elegance in equal measure.

☀️ Light

• Thrives in bright, indirect light to maintain its rich green tone and velvet texture

• Can tolerate medium light, though growth may slow

• Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves

💧 Water

• Keep soil consistently moist, but never soggy

• Water when the top 2–3 cm of soil feel dry

• Use a chunky, well-draining aroid mix (bark, perlite, and moss) for healthy roots

🌫️ Humidity

• Prefers high humidity (70%+) for lush, velvety growth

• Mist lightly or use a humidifier to keep the air moist

• Dry air can cause browning on the edges of leaves

🍽️ Feeding

• Use a balanced liquid fertilizer every 4–6 weeks in spring and summer

• Pause feeding in autumn and winter

🌱 Quick Tips

• Rotate regularly for even light exposure

• Wipe leaves gently to keep that soft velvet glow

• Not pet-safe — keep away from cats and dogs
