Variant

Anthurium Pterodactyl is a remarkable hybrid cultivar that combines the best traits of its parent species, Anthurium clarinervium and Anthurium pedatoradiatum, both native to Mexico. Known for its large, heart-shaped leaves with intricate pale-green, almost silver veining, this plant presents a stunning visual display. The veins are uniquely shaped, reminiscent of skeletal wings, giving it a prehistoric appearance akin to a Pterodactyl in flight. This hybrid is not only a feast for the eyes but also a compact, easy-to-care-for plant that adds a lush, tropical feel to any indoor space.

What to expect

The plant comes with a default nursery pot. The nursery pot is usually 0.5" - 1" smaller than stated to fit into the same size decorative pot. Washable Paper Planter Bags are sold separately.

As with all living things, no two plants are alike. There is some natural variation in size, shape, and characteristics. We make every effort to bring you a plant that as closely as possible matches the plant as it appears on our website, in the size you have chosen, and have a good potential to happily grow in your home.

Care Guide

How to take care of Anthurium Pterodactyl

Sun: Indirect

Anthurium Pterodactyl should not be in a position to see the sun directly, although early morning or late evening sun is fine. Filtered sunlight through a sheer curtain is best and most homes are comprised primarily of indirect sunlight. The best spot for them is where they do not see the sun during the majority of the day but still get bright, indirect light.

Light: Bright

Anthurium Pterodactyl will do best in bright light. A nice bright place inside your home would be on the window sill or a stool that is right next to a window, either with or without blinds, depending on if the plant can handle sun. Remember that plants will grow based on how much light they receive.

Water: When half dry

Anthurium Pterodactyl needs to be watered when the top half of the soil is dry to the touch. That usually takes about 1 week in an average home environment. It will vary depending on the time of year, your environment and lighting conditions, but it's always safer to underwater or give the soil a check before you water again. Expect to water more often in brighter light and less often in lower light.

Humidity: High

Anthurium Pterodactyl likes a high humidity environment, give them a mist daily or as often as possible. Alternatively, you can put them around a humidifier. Although they won't die if they don't receive enough humidity, their leaves may have some dry, crunchy, or yellow edges.

Pet Caution

Anthurium Pterodactyl is moderately toxic and can cause some adverse reactions when ingested so it is best to not let your pets eat it, which we advise for all plants in general. The severity of the reaction will depend on how much of the plant is ingested but, if you know your pet typically does not eat your plants, this plant will be suitable for your home.

Plant Story

Introducing the Anthurium Pterodactyl, a striking hybrid that combines the best traits of its parent species into a fascinating and visually engaging houseplant. This unique anthurium cultivar not only enhances your indoor greenery with its dramatic foliage but also symbolizes innovation, evolution, and the merging of traditions to create something entirely new.

The Anthurium Pterodactyl features large, heart-shaped leaves that are a deep, lush green, accented by pale-green, almost silver veining. The veins are uniquely shaped to somewhat resemble the skeletal wings of its namesake, the pterodactyl, adding an element of prehistoric elegance to its appearance. Despite its dramatic looks, this plant remains fairly compact, making it suitable for a variety of indoor settings.

To care for your Anthurium Pterodactyl, provide it with bright, indirect light. The ideal lighting will help accentuate the silver veins on its leaves and promote healthy growth. As an epiphytic plant, it thrives in well-draining soil that mimics its natural tendency to attach to trees or rocks, so be sure to use an orchid mix or a similarly airy substrate.

Watering should be consistent, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. High humidity is crucial for this tropical hybrid, mimicking its native environment in Mexico. You can maintain adequate humidity by placing it on a pebble tray with water, using a humidifier, or situating it in naturally humid areas like kitchens or bathrooms.

The Anthurium Pterodactyl is not just a beautiful houseplant; it is also a symbol of the beauty that arises from hybrid vigour and the creativity of botanical artistry. It represents the successful combination of diverse elements to create something better suited to modern environments and aesthetic tastes.

As your Anthurium Pterodactyl matures, it becomes more than just a plant—it's a living testament to the adaptability and enduring appeal of the Anthurium family. It encourages us to appreciate the innovative blending of heritage and the continuous evolution that characterizes both nature and human creativity.

Welcome the Anthurium Pterodactyl into your home, and let it inspire you with its prehistoric elegance and modern charm. It's not just a plant; it's a celebration of the ongoing journey of adaptation and the delightful surprises that arise when different worlds collide.
