The Pterodactyl Anthurium is a unique and interesting plant with large, glossy, heart-shaped leaves that resemble the wings of a pterodactyl, hence its name. It is a hybrid plant that was created by crossing two different species of Anthuriums. This plant is native to Central and South America and is a member of the Araceae family, which includes other popular houseplants such as the Peace Lily and the Philodendron.
This plant has large, dark green leaves that are deeply lobed and resemble wings. The leaves can grow up to 3 feet long and 12 inches wide, and they are glossy and leathery to the touch. The flowers of the Pterodactyl Anthurium are also unique and eye-catching, with a long, thin spathe that curls and twists like the beak of a bird.
The Pterodactyl Anthurium is an epiphytic plant, which means it grows naturally on other plants and can be grown as an epiphyte in a potting mix that contains a lot of organic matter, such as peat moss or coconut coir. It can also be grown as a terrestrial plant in a well-draining potting mix. This plant prefers bright, indirect light, and should be kept out of direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.
Anthurium
Lighting: It will do best in bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sun, which can burn the leaves.
Watering: Keep soil moist with regular watering but not waterlogged. Allow the top of the soil to dry out to the touch before watering again.
One of the most interesting features of the Pterodactyl Anthurium is its unusual stem, which is thick and woody and can grow up to 12 inches in diameter. This stem is covered in aerial roots, which help the plant to anchor itself to other plants in its natural environment. The leaves of the Pterodactyl Anthurium grow directly from the stem and can reach up to 12 inches in length.
The Pterodactyl Anthurium requires regular watering to keep the soil consistently moist, but not waterlogged, and should be fertilized every two weeks during the growing season. With proper care and attention, the Pterodactyl Anthurium can be a stunning addition to any collection of houseplants.
