Anthurium vittarifolium

Anthurium vittarifolium — The Strap-Leaf Anthurium

One of the most dramatic aroids you can grow indoors, Anthurium vittarifolium is a rare pendant-leaved species native to the rainforests of Colombia and Peru. Its extraordinarily long, strap-shaped leaves cascade downward in deep, glossy green — making it a living sculpture for any plant enthusiast's collection.

Imagine this beauty trailing from a high shelf or hanging planter, its ribbon-like foliage swaying gently in the warm, humid air of your home. It's the kind of plant that stops guests mid-sentence.
