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.

MUST HAVE BUT MAKE THE TUBE BIGGER OR CHARGE LESS!
Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Forget babies, at 30 years old I need a softening, nontoxic body lotion that rivaled Lush's sleepy lotion in affordability. THIS IS IT! Pros-Smells like heaven, has that subtle colloidal oatmeal-nutty scent with a light whiff of lavender or something subtle yet sweet. Great before bed time. Also, its an epic HAND CREAM, transformed my dry, over washed hands in three days of use. It's a light lotion, not greasy or runny. Pairs well under jojoba or shea nut oil for extra hydration. Cons- Came sealed, but quarter of the bottle wasn't full. Which leads to second issue WHY $11 FOR SUCH A SMALL BOTTLE??? And even worse I checked in the Babo site its original price is $14 so that's ridiculous. They must know grown women use this stuf,f not just babies. It's wasted on kids, their skin is flawless any way. It rubs in kind of odd, too much massaging it gets streaky, so rub it in a bit a let it soak in within 30 seconds. Last but not least MAKE THIS AN AFFORDABLE BODY WASH AND LOTION FOR WOMEN!

Love it
Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Eczema runs in my family and my poor little guy was starting to deal with dry itchy spots on his arms, legs and torso. Within a few days of use I could see the difference. His skin cleared up and we don’t deal with any dry spots anymore. His skin is super soft now. I spreads easily & his skin seems to soak it up nicely. The scent isn’t my favorite but it doesn’t smell bad. I think it’s a “hippy” scent but I definitely love the babo botanicals brand now. My brother deals with dry hands so I gave him a bottle of the lotion and his hands have cleared up significantly.

Awesome
This works well on the baby with no reactions. I smear it on after bathtime fairly thick. It absorbs in later. I also use it on my arms and shoulders in winter when we have dry air, very soothing after a shower. It has no strong odors. I am very sensitive to perfumes and odors in lotions. This one is super mild and causes no respiratory reaction.

Loved the smell - new packaging doesn’t smell the same :(
Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I love this lotion. It is all I will use on my babies when they are little. It is rich and I love the unique fragrance. It might not be for everyone but I think it is absolutely wonderful and high quality. Update: The most recent bottle I bought is no longer in a pump and now I’m a tube. I imagine they did this because so many people complained of the pumps breaking. I don’t know if they changed the formula or what, but the scent is not as pleasant as I remember the older bottles to be. It is not as strong as it was and a little less earthy and a little more chemically. It still moisturizes VERY well and is all natural, but I’m dropping to 4 stars because it doesn’t smell as good.
