Latin name: Anthurium luxurians (cultivar ‘Platinum’)
Common name: Anthurium Luxurians Platinum
Native to Colombia, this rare cultivar of Anthurium luxurians is renowned for its deeply textured, quilted foliage. The ‘Platinum’ selection stands out for its metallic silvery-green sheen overlaying the dark leaves, giving them a luxurious, almost sculptural quality. The foliage emerges lighter, gradually hardening into thick, corrugated blades with a glossy finish. 🍃✨
FLOWER DETAILS
Flowers are typical of foliage anthuriums: a pale green spathe and spadix, small and understated compared to the dramatic leaves. Blooms may persist for weeks, but the plant is grown primarily for its extraordinary platinum foliage. 🌸
CARE INSTRUCTIONS

🏺 Potting: Use a well-draining pot; repot every 1–2 years to refresh the mix and support growth.
🌱 Growth rate: Slow to moderate; new leaves emerge every few months, often larger than the previous.
🐾 Pet friendly: No — contains calcium oxalate, toxic if ingested. Keep away from pets and children.
