Anthurium marmoratum

Key Features

Anthurium marmoratum is a true velvet leaf anthurium, known for its deep green, matte-textured foliage and elongated, spear-shaped leaves. This is the pure form, not a hybrid, and is highly sought after by collectors for its striking appearance and mature size.

In ideal conditions, mature leaves can regularly exceed 60 cm in length, with some reaching up to 90 cm. The plant grows upright and benefits from support as it gains height over time.

Native to tropical regions of South America, this species requires stable warmth and humidity to perform well indoors. It is best suited to controlled environments such as grow tents, greenhouses, or homes equipped with humidifiers.

Care Requirements

• Requires higher humidity and warm temperatures to thrive
• Bright, indirect light preferred – avoid direct sun
• Grow in a well-draining aroid mix with consistent moisture
• Airflow is important to minimise bacterial and fungal issues

What to Expect

You will receive a young, established indoor plant grown in controlled conditions (approximately 20°C and 60–70% relative humidity). The plant pictured is a representative example of what you will receive. Natural variation in leaf size and shape is expected.

We recommend this plant for experienced growers only. In southern parts of Australia, a grow tent, humidifier, or heated humid space is essential to maintain long-term health.

Shipping

This plant will be sent in its plastic growing pot

We only ship plants on Mondays. Please order before 2pm on Sunday to ensure your plant will be sent the following Monday. Orders placed after this time MIGHT not be shipped untill the following week.

We only ship plants to non-quarantine states (sorry sorry WA, TAS and NT residents). Shipping of plants is capped at $18.00 per order. This includes the packing materials and labour times. We use recycled packing where possible to reduce our waste and keep cost down, but we ensure that all packing material is sturdy enough to resist damage during transit.

If no one is home to receive your order, the parcel will be left in a safe place. We will not request signature on delivery, as parcels sent back to the post office may not get picked up for days, therefore increasing the amount of stress placed on the plant(s) inside.

This plant can also be picked up from the Northern Wellbeing Centre; 113C miller st, Epping VIC. If you select this option at check-out, we will email you to organise a pick-up time.
