Flower Shop Network Plant Expert Reply:

Anthurium Clarinervium are different that the anthurium plants we are used to seeing in stores. They are more known for their beautiful, heart-shaped leaves than their flowers, which are small and understated. Anthurium Clarinervium is native to Mexico and found almost exclusively in that country. Because the leaves feel a lot like cardboard, this plant is often called, Velvet Cardboard.

Anthurium Clarinervium is an easy plant to grow as a houseplant, and can be cared for much like other anthurium house plants. These plants need good, rich soil, a good choice would be soil recommended for orchids. They like to be moist, but not wet and misted often. Lighting should be bright, but indirect sunlight.
