Anthurium peltigerum

Anthurium peltigerum is an unusual foliage Anthurium with peltate leaves, meaning the petiole attaches underneath the blade, inside the leaf outline. This gives the leaves a shield-like outline and a distinctive vein pattern, with strong basal veins running outward through the blade.

The plant grows as an epiphytic Anthurium and can develop broad, rounded leaves as it sizes up. Mature blades are green, firm and strongly patterned by radiating veins and parallel tertiary venation, with a shield-like form that shows clearly from above.

Fast-scan traits on Anthurium peltigerum

  • Growth habit: Epiphytic Anthurium with a strong root system and broad leaves.
  • Leaf attachment: Peltate blades with the petiole attached beneath the leaf surface.
  • Venation: Basal veins travel toward the apex, with many parallel tertiary veins between them.
  • Blade character: Firm green foliage with a shield-like profile.
  • Origin: Native from southwestern Colombia to Ecuador, with Andean Colombian records.

Peltate leaf form and Andean habitat

Anthurium peltigerum is native from southwestern Colombia to Ecuador and is recorded as an epiphytic herb in wet tropical conditions. Colombian records place it in Andean regions at roughly 950–2100 m elevation, where moisture, airflow and an open root zone occur together.

The peltate blade gives the species its distinctive shape. Because the petiole joins the leaf from beneath, the veins radiate differently from cordate Anthuriums. As the plant matures, each leaf shows more shield-like geometry, especially with consistent moisture and enough light for firm petioles.

Care for Anthurium peltigerum

  • Light: Grow in bright filtered light. Strong, indirect light allows larger leaves to develop and a sturdier petiole-to-blade connection.
  • Watering: Keep the mix lightly moist, then water again once the upper layer has begun to dry. The epiphytic roots need oxygen between waterings.
  • Substrate: Use a coarse Anthurium mix with bark, coco chips, perlite, pumice and a little sphagnum or fine organic material for moisture retention.
  • Root space: A deep, airy pot or basket-style setup gives the thick roots room and reduces compaction around the base.
  • Humidity: Aim for 60–80% relative humidity with airflow. The broad blades benefit from stable humidity while expanding.
  • Temperature: Keep warm, ideally 20–28 °C. Cooler nights should stay mild and the substrate should drain quickly.
  • Feeding: Feed lightly during active growth. Large leaves need steady nutrition, but high salt levels can damage roots and margins.
  • Repotting: Repot when roots are tight or the mix has degraded. Refresh the substrate before it turns dense around the epiphytic roots.
  • Handling: Hold the blade and petiole when moving the plant. Peltate leaves can be stressed where the petiole meets the blade.
  • Propagation: Divide only established plants with multiple growth points. Keep divisions warm and evenly moist while roots re-establish.

Common issues on Anthurium peltigerum

  • Weak petioles: Check exposure level and root health. Large peltate blades need enough energy and a strong root system to hold well.
  • Yellowing after watering: Inspect the substrate for compaction. Epiphytic roots decline quickly when air spaces collapse.
  • Dry or torn new leaves: Stabilise humidity and reduce physical contact while the blade is expanding.
  • Brown spotting: Improve airflow and keep foliage drier overnight. Warm, wet leaf surfaces can encourage bacterial or fungal problems.
  • Stalled growth: Review warmth, light and root space before increasing fertiliser. This species often sizes up gradually.

Anthurium peltigerum growing notes

Anthurium peltigerum often shows its peltate attachment before it reaches mature blade size. With age, the spacing between leaves, petiole length and vein pattern become more pronounced.

Anthurium peltigerum safety notes

Anthurium peltigerum should be kept away from children and animals that may chew foliage or stems. Anthuriums contain insoluble calcium oxalate crystals that can irritate the mouth, lips, tongue, throat, skin and eyes. Use clean tools and wash hands after cutting or dividing the plant.

Anthurium peltigerum name background

The accepted botanical name is Anthurium peltigerum Sodiro, in the family Araceae. The genus name Anthurium is formed from Greek words for “flower” and “tail”, referring to the spadix. The species epithet peltigerum refers to the peltate, shield-bearing leaf form that gives this species its distinctive outline.

Anthurium peltigerum develops shield-like peltate leaves with radiating veins, firm green blades and epiphytic root growth.

Light weight, and high quality!
Size: 17" (2 x 4.0Ah)
I had concerns when we got this mower. It isn’t self propelled, and is smaller than our last one, but it really surprised me. We have a lot of yard, and are on a hill, which added to our concerns. It is lightweight, which makes it really easy to use. You can raise and lower the deck with a couple of fingers. It even goes up the hill easily. The only downside is the battery life. It comes with 2 24v batteries, and needs both to operate. They last about 30 min. My thought was to get a second set of batteries, but they cost as much as another mower. I like the easy maintenance, and light weight, and that it has power and is quiet. Great mower.

Great electric mower for the price
Size: 17" (2 x 4.0Ah)
This was one of my favorite purchases this year. The November isn't noisy, looks much better than my previous electric lawnmower, and was surprisingly powerful for what it was. Out of the box, it was super easy to set up. My only gripe is that I wish the batteries would last a little longer. Currently, it lasts about 45 min per charge.

Lawnmower
Size: 17" (2 x 4.0Ah)
Bought this and two extra batteries. One battery turned out to be bad and won't charge. The lawnmower so far is great. Cuts good and very lightweight. Would recommend it, the batteries not so much.

It actually does the job pretty well
Style: Lawn Edger/Tool Only
I floundered around for a few minutes, then figured out how to use it, and then made pretty good progress on my overgrown sidewalks. Yes, it uses up batteries but that's because it actually has enough power to do the job, unlike many "homeowner" tools. The handle is long enough so I'm not painfully bent over while using the tool, and it feels solid and stable. One thing I really appreciated is that it doesn't have a typical pointless, awkward "safety" interlock button that you're supposed to keep mashed down with your thumb the whole time - it's a comfortable one-finger trigger. Another good 20v tool from Worx. I'm "in".
