![]() A mix of orchid bark, perlite and normal soil is also a good, airy mix for them. SoilĪn anthurium magnificum should be potted in a rich but well draining compost, with added sand and perlite. they will be ok if you don’t feed them, but it can really help with growth in the warmer months. Dilute it with twice as much water as the instructions say so as not to burn the leaves. ![]() Tip: when it comes to watering keep them moist but not soaking wet, tip out excess water after watering so they don’t get a soggy bottom! Fertilizerįeed your anthurium magnificum once a month in summer, use a feed higher in nitrogen. You don’t want to let water sit in the saucer under the pot and then waterlog the soil, so tip out any excess water about ten minutes after watering. You want to soak the plant, but then after wards make sure all the water drains out (a well draining soil is also key).

They do not like muddy growing media, so even though terrestrial it should be grown like an epiphyte. The related group of species currently lumped by horticulturists as " Anthurium magnificum" can all easily produce 30"/75 cm+ leaves when mature. Growing it way too bright, but even still a beautiful giant hybrid, IMO: After many years it's just starting to get really big here. I gave all of them away except for one that I quite like, A. ![]() Most of these hybrids are kind of "blah" to me, but are definitely dominated by A. I have hybridized this species quite extensively in Guatemala since I had a very good clone of the true species obtained from a Colombian plant collector. I have quite a few of the ones from Antioquia, including some very unusual wild hybrids. The Huntington BG also has plants of the true species from a different Colombian locality. Thomas Croat of the Missouri BG, grown by me from wild-collected seed in Antioquia, Colombia.
