Let the soil dry about 80% before watering again. That's drier than most aroids prefer! In summer, roughly every 5-7 days. In winter, every 10-14 days. Use room-temp filtered or rainwater. Cold tap water shocks the roots and you'll see the damage in the leaves.Water

Did You Know

Fun Facts

This plant grows on limestone rocks in wet forests in Chiapas, Mexico. It's a lithophyte, not an epiphyte. That's why it's tougher than most anthuriums and does great in chunky, fast-draining soil.

The leaves are so thick that people call it the velvet cardboard anthurium. That thickness isn't just for looks. It's an adaptation for storing water between rain events on exposed rock faces. Form follows function!

The name clarinervium is Latin for 'clear-veined,' which is about as straightforward as botanical naming gets. Formally described in 1950, but people in Mexico had been growing it for way longer.
