Anthurium Papillilaminum Plant Care

Anthurium Papillilaminum (Anthurium papillilaminum) belongs to the Araceae family within the Anthurium genus. Anthurium Papillilaminum is native to Panama. Anthurium Papillilaminum is also known as Anthurium papillilaminum Croat.

Anthurium Papillilaminum displays an upright petioles and long velvety, heart-shaped leaves growth habit, reaching up to 3 ft tall with a spread of approximately 2 ft. Anthurium Papillilaminum produces spathe and spadix.

Leaf size: approximately 13.4 inches.

Water a young or newly planted Anthurium Papillilaminum every 5–7 days, soaking the whole root zone, until it is established — usually one to two growing seasons. Established shrubs mainly need water during long dry spells. In a container, water whenever the top few centimetres of soil are dry.

Anthurium Papillilaminum thrives in bright indirect light. Avoid placing Anthurium Papillilaminum in direct, harsh sunlight for extended periods, as this can scorch the foliage.

Anthurium papillilaminum tolerates temperatures of 70–90°F. Anthurium Papillilaminum prefers humidity levels of 60–80%. A pebble tray or humidifier helps maintain adequate moisture around the plant.

Well-draining organic and fertile soils containing perlite and orchid bark. Good drainage is essential for Anthurium Papillilaminum to prevent waterlogging, which leads to root rot and fungal issues.

Feed Anthurium Papillilaminum every 2 months during the growing season with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer at the rate on the label. Established shrubs in good soil often need little extra feeding, so let weak growth or pale foliage guide you.

Stop feeding by late summer so new growth can harden before winter.

The PlantoScan app can remind you when to water and when to fertilize each plant.

Choose a spot with bright indirect light and well-draining organic and fertile soils containing perlite and orchid bark. Avoid low spots where water collects after rain.

Anthurium Papillilaminum is suited to USDA Zone 12b – 13b.

Plant container-grown or balled-and-burlapped shrubs in spring or early autumn, setting the root flare at soil level, and water well after planting.

Anthurium Papillilaminum can spread to about 2 ft (0.6 m) and reach about 3 ft (1 m) tall. Space plants about 2 ft (0.6 m) apart so mature crowns don't crowd each other, and plant at least half that distance from buildings, fences and paths.

Prune Anthurium Papillilaminum while it is dormant in late winter: first remove dead, damaged and crossing branches, then thin lightly for shape.

If it flowers in spring, prune right after flowering instead so you don't remove next year's buds. Never take off more than about a quarter of the shrub in one year.

Anthurium Papillilaminum is frost-tender (hardy to USDA zone 12). In colder areas grow it in a container and move it to a bright, frost-free place before the first frost.

Anthurium Papillilaminum can be propagated through stem cuttings and root division, as well as from seeds. Similar propagation techniques also apply to anthurium clarinervium plant care, which shares the same genus.

Anthurium Papillilaminum is susceptible to spider mites, aphids, mealybugs. Inspect the foliage regularly, especially along leaf undersides and stems. Treat infestations promptly with insecticidal soap or neem oil to prevent spread.

Anthurium Papillilaminum grows outdoors in USDA Zone 12b – 13b. It survives winters down to planting zone 12b. Anthurium Papillilaminum is native to Panama. In cooler regions, grow Anthurium Papillilaminum as a houseplant or bring it indoors before the first frost.
