Anthurium dolichostachyum

Dark green, broad blades give Anthurium dolichostachyum a substantial leaf shape, with a matte to slightly velvety upper surface and a paler underside. This Anthurium species is native from southern Colombia to Ecuador.

The leaves are subcoriaceous and held on rounded petioles below the broad blades. Its care is shaped by root aeration and steady moisture, with an open mix that holds some moisture while keeping oxygen around the roots.

Leaf texture and stem structure

  • Dark upper surface: Mature leaves are dark green and can appear matte to softly velvety.
  • Paler underside: The lower leaf surface is lighter and weakly glossy.
  • Subcoriaceous blades: The leaves have a firmer texture than very thin Anthurium foliage.
  • Terete petioles: Rounded, dark green petioles hold the broad blades away from the base.
  • Thicker internodes: The stem has thicker internodes and needs air around its base.
  • Inflorescence colour: Inflorescences can show a green spathe, yellow-green spadix and red berries.

Range and root behaviour

Anthurium dolichostachyum grows in wet tropical conditions from southern Colombia to Ecuador. Its epiphytic habit points to a root environment with air pockets, fast drainage and steady moisture.

In cultivation, the broad leaves need space around the plant. A stable pot and coarse substrate reduce movement around the base, while open spacing keeps the blade surface from being rubbed or folded.

Care for Anthurium dolichostachyum

  • Light: Use bright filtered light. Direct sun can scorch the dark leaf surface, while weak light can reduce leaf size and slow the plant.
  • Water: Keep the mix lightly moist through active growth, then let the upper layer dry slightly before the next watering.
  • Substrate: Choose a chunky Anthurium mix with bark, coarse fibre and mineral particles so the roots are not held in dense wet material.
  • Humidity: Higher humidity keeps new leaves from drying at the edges while they expand.
  • Temperature: Warm conditions suit the plant; cold wet mix can mark roots and slow new growth.
  • Pot stability: Use a pot that balances the broad leaves, especially once petioles lengthen.
  • Cleaning: Wipe leaves gently with a soft damp cloth when needed, avoiding pressure on fresh growth.

Common issues with Anthurium dolichostachyum

  • Leaf marking: Broad blades can bruise or crease when crowded, pressed against shelving or handled roughly.
  • Root stress: Stale, compact substrate can keep moisture trapped and reduce oxygen around the roots.
  • Slow new growth: Cold conditions after watering can pause root activity and delay leaf development.
  • Brown edges: Dry air, irregular watering or fertiliser build-up can brown the margins.
  • Torn blades: Larger leaves can split during movement or shipping; new leaves show the plant’s settled condition more clearly.

Safety for Anthurium dolichostachyum

Anthurium dolichostachyum contains irritating calcium oxalate crystals and is not pet-safe. Keep it away from chewing pets and wash your hands after cutting or handling damaged tissue.

Botanical background

LOVE IT!!!
Size: 41 Inch Extra Long, Color: White Faux Marble
Easy to put together, very durable and quality materials. I recommend two people like the directions say if you're going to mount it because it's heavy but I had no trouble moving it to is location but I did not mount it.

Color me impressed.
Size: 41 Inch Extra Long, Color: Rustic Brown, Size: 41 Inch Extra Long, Color: Rustic Brown
My husband and I were looking for a shelf to replace the one over our coffee station. We just needed more room for travel mugs and other assorted coffee items. Most of our kitchen is done in the wood and black metal tones so when we spotted this, we were excited. We placed it in the amazon cart and purchased. Shipping took a little while but it was packaged well and nothing was damaged. It came with everything needed to build and hang the shelf including the dry wall anchors. My husband was able to put it together fairly quickly but hanging it was a two person job. The shelf isn't SUPER heavy... but someone needs to hold it while the other person levels it and mark where to mount the anchors. Once it was up, it was sturdy and looks great! We're very happy with this product. It is perfect for what we wanted to do :)

Looks decent but is slightly under engineered
Size: 41 Inch Extra Long, Color: White Faux Marble, Size: 41 Inch Extra Long, Color: White Faux Marble
Five stars for packaging, quality of materials and instructions. It's a really good looking product out of the box. No scratches or defects in workmanship. Material fit and finish is very good. If you've ever assembled anything from Ikea, the hardware will seem familiar. The problems that led to me giving it 3 stars occur in the engineering. All of the weight transfer to the center with just four corner anchor points creates a sag. If you drop a 4' level across the top after installing, it's a noticeable 1/8" dip in the middle as gravity pulls on the unsupported center. If you're one of those people that notices an out of level picture on a wall from fifty paces, this is going to be a problem for you. Being that I knew it would only get worse with time and eventually make me insane, I installed a very small L bracket in the middle under the bottom shelf, pushing the entire thing up until the deflection was gone. I also tossed the anchors that came with it as those are for concrete/block walls and used metal EZ anchors that are rated for drywall. If you use the included anchors in 1/2“ drywall, there's a good chance they'll pull out. Toggle bolts would also be a good alternative. Another small detail that's missing is the lack of a plug or cover for the four exposed cams making up the vertical center support. Depending on your viewing angle and how much stuff you'll store will determine if these are visible or not. Including a simple white decal would have been reasonable. I used some white, stick-on melamine screw covers I had lying around to try and hide the cam locks better. Lastly, I wish this were made in plain white. While the faux marble somewhat matches our dining table, The veining is too pronounced. Plain white would have been better.
