Name: Anthurium magnificum Linden
Synonym: Anthurium sanderi Sander
Etymology: The Latin specific epithet magnificum means "magnificent" or "splendid" and describes the impressive leaves.
First described: 1865 by Jean Jules Linden.
Origin/Distribution: Colombia.
Location/Habitat: The species grows terrestrially to epiphytically in moist tropical montane forests. We recommend approximately 18–28 °C, high humidity, good air circulation, and bright, indirect light.
Description and notes: Anthurium magnificum develops large, velvety, heart-shaped leaves in deep olive to dark green. The striking light venation and metallic sheen give the foliage its distinctive appearance; the square-shaped petioles help distinguish it from similar species. Keep a coarse, humus-rich, and well-ventilated aroid substrate evenly slightly moist, without allowing waterlogging. Gradually acclimate young plants to brighter conditions.
