Anthurium wendlingeri is a captivating species of Anthurium known for its unique and striking appearance. Native to the rainforests of Central America, particularly Panama, this plant is celebrated for its long, pendulous spadix that spirals gracefully as it matures, resembling a corkscrew. The leaves of Anthurium wendlingeri are large, glossy, and deeply pinnate, adding to its exotic allure. This plant is a climber in its natural habitat, often growing on tree trunks and branches, which makes it an excellent candidate for vertical gardens or as a striking houseplant when provided with appropriate support.

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.

Care Guide

How to take care of Anthurium Wendlingeri

Sun: Indirect

Anthurium Wendlingeri 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: Medium - Bright

Anthurium Wendlingeri will thrive in bright light, but also can tolerate medium light. A good medium-light place in your home would be in the middle of a room that has a regular size window. They can be placed anywhere between the middle of the room and the window. Remember that plants will grow based on how much light they receive.

Water: When half dry

Anthurium Wendlingeri 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 Wendlingeri 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 Wendlingeri 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 Wendlingeri, a striking and exotic houseplant that not only brings a touch of tropical elegance to your indoor garden but also symbolizes the beauty of uniqueness and the allure of the understated.

The Anthurium Wendlingeri, also known as the Corkscrew Anthurium, is celebrated for its remarkable foliage and distinctive inflorescence. This species features long, narrow leaves that can grow several feet in length, each with a glossy texture and a deep green hue. The leaves are most notable for their dramatic, spiralling tip, which adds a whimsical and architectural element to the plant's appearance.

The inflorescence of the Anthurium Wendlingeri is equally captivating. It bears a long, pendulous spadix that curls at the end, resembling a corkscrew. This spadix is typically a deep burgundy or brown colour, contrasting beautifully against the lush green foliage. The spadix is encased in a slender, pale spathe that further highlights its unusual form.

To care for your Anthurium Wendlingeri, provide it with bright, indirect light. While it can adapt to medium light levels, brighter light will enhance the vibrancy of its leaves and the health of its spadix. However, direct sunlight should be avoided as it can scorch the leaves.

Watering should be consistent, maintaining a balance where the soil remains slightly moist but not waterlogged. Anthurium Wendlingeri thrives in high humidity environments, so maintaining humidity around the plant will help mimic its natural tropical habitat. This can be achieved through regular misting, using a pebble tray, or placing a humidifier nearby.

The Anthurium Wendlingeri is not only a visually stunning plant; it also serves as a reminder of the natural world's incredible diversity and the unique beauty found in less conventional forms. Its care requirements teach us the importance of understanding and adapting to the needs of others, whether plants or people.

As your Anthurium Wendlingeri grows, it becomes not just a plant but a symbol of the elegance and mystery of the tropics. It is a testament to the unique beauty that nature holds and the joy of nurturing something truly special.

Welcome the Anthurium Wendlingeri into your home, and let it be a living emblem of uniqueness, the beauty of natural artistry, and the enriching experience of caring for one of the world's most unusual plants. It's not just a plant; it's a celebration of the rich, varied tapestry of life on Earth.
