Anthurium wendlingeri
🌪️ The Jungle’s Spiralling Wonder 🌪️
This isn’t just a plant—it’s a flex. Anthurium wendlingeri brings the drama with long, pendant leaves that twist and curl like jungle ribbons in the wind. Native to Central America’s humid cloud forests, this rare species grows epiphytically (perched in trees like a green daredevil), flaunting its spiralling foliage like nature’s own modern art installation.
It’s the anthurium that laughs at straight lines—because straight is boring, and this plant is anything but.
Plant Stats:
💡 Light: Bright, indirect light—think dappled canopy glow
💧 Water: Moist, never soggy. Let it dry slightly between waterings
🌫 Humidity: 70%+—this one wants rainforest realness
🪴 Soil: Light, airy, epiphyte-friendly mix (think moss, bark, perlite)
Why It’s a Must-Have Marvel:
Long, narrow, twisted leaves like botanical ribbons
Extremely rare and highly collectable
A living sculpture that defies plant norms
Grows beautifully mounted or in a hanging pot for that wild-jungle look
⚠️ Limited availability. A true collector’s piece that rarely hits the market.
Let your plant shelf spiral into greatness.
Anthurium Wendlingeri - 14cm/45cm
The following aroid mix I would like to share with you is working well for my Anthurium:
- Potting Soil (30%)
- Orchid Bark (30%)
- Perlite (20%)
- Charcoal (5%)
- Worm Castings (15%)
Water thoroughly when watering to mimic tropical jungle conditions. It is best practice to keep the soil humid but never soggy.
