Guide
The species-level account. Cultivar pages build on this and say where they differ.
Anthurium warocqueanum is an epiphyte from the humid forests of Colombia, where its roots cling to bark and drain quickly rather than sitting in soil. Grow it in a coarse, airy mix with strong drainage and steady warmth, and water only when the top inch or two of mix has dried; its roots rot easily if kept wet. It needs consistently high humidity and bright indirect light, never direct sun.

Toxic to cats & dogs & humans
Araceae contain insoluble calcium oxalate crystals, which irritate mouth and digestive tract on ingestion. This is where toxicity lives: every cultivar of this species inherits it and none can override it.
