Anthurium Superbum

Botanical Name: Anthurium superbum
Common Name(s): Anthurium Superbum, King Anthurium, Bird's Nest Anthurium

The Anthurium Superbum is a unique and stunning species of Anthurium that is prized for its large, glossy, deeply lobed leaves and striking appearance. Native to the tropical rainforests of Central and South America, this epiphytic plant thrives in the humid, shaded understory, where it receives filtered light and plenty of moisture. Unlike the more commonly seen Anthurium varieties, the Anthurium Superbum is primarily grown for its beautiful foliage rather than its flowers, making it a great addition for those seeking an ornamental, low-maintenance plant.

This plant typically grows to a height of 2–3 feet indoors and has large, arching, leathery leaves that can grow up to 2 feet long. The leaves are deeply lobed, giving the plant a dramatic, tropical look. While the Anthurium Superbum can produce small, inconspicuous flowers on a spadix, the plant is mainly valued for its foliage, which can add an exotic, lush touch to any space.

This varietyprefers bright, indirect light, similar to other Anthurium varieties, and can tolerate lower light levels, although its growth may slow. It thrives in a well-draining, slightly acidic potting mix and enjoys a consistently moist environment, though it's important to avoid waterlogging. Allowing the top inch of the soil to dry out between waterings will help prevent root rot. This species also appreciates higher humidity levels, so misting the leaves or placing the plant on a humidity tray will encourage healthy growth. Regular fertilizing during the growing season (spring and summer) will support its lush foliage development.

Note: This Anthurium plant is toxic to humans and pets which can cause irritation and discomfort if ingested or touched. 

Care Insights & Expert Tips

  1. Stem Support: If this anthurium has long stems, provide support with a moss pole or stake.
  2. Avoid Cold Drafts: Protect your plant from cold drafts and sudden temperature changes.
  3. Repot every 2-3 years: This Anthurium doesn’t need frequent repotting. It can be repotted every 2-3 years, or when the roots become cramped.
  4. Fertilize during growing season: Fertilize your anthurium once a month during the spring and summer with a balanced liquid houseplant fertilizer diluted to half strength.

FAQs

Do you have a return or replacement policy for plants?

Due to the perishable nature of plants, we do not accept returns based on personal preference. Shipping live plants back and forth can cause unnecessary stress and jeopardize the health of the plant. We encourage customers to choose carefully before placing an order. Our risk-free, 30-day customer guarantee covers cases where plants arrive damaged, dead, sick, or incorrect items were sent. We will send you a replacement plant or provide a refund.

If there’s an issue with your order, please notify us within 30 days so we can address the issue as quickly as possible. To learn more, visit 30-Day Customer Guarantee. Refunds will be processed to the card or account used for your purchase and will typically be available in your bank in 3-5 business days from the date it was issued.

If I order more than one plant, will they ship separately?

Where do you ship?
