Anthurium queremalense
Reported from Valle del Cauca, Colombia; not treated here as POWO-verified accepted taxonomy.
First described by Unresolved; often attributed in trade as Croat but not verified here as a POWO-accepted species..
Large elongated to oblong green leaves; collector descriptions emphasise very large leaves and a bold giant Anthurium look.
Reported as a large clambering/hemiepiphytic or terrestrial Anthurium; in cultivation it needs space and support more than a compact shelf position.
Name appears to refer to Queremal in Valle del Cauca, Colombia.
Caution row. I did not find a stable POWO accepted species page for this name. Trade and collector sources treat it as Anthurium queremalense, often marked unresolved or ined.; therefore category is undescribed_species rather than species.
Treat as a large collector Anthurium: bright filtered light, high humidity, warmth, and a chunky mix or support that allows strong roots.
Repot only when needed into a chunky bark/perlite/coco or similar aroid mix. Keep the crown above the mix and avoid oversized pots.
Monthly at quarter to half strength during active growth. Flush occasionally if using mineral fertiliser.
- Identity uncertainty; oversized growth for cabinets; root rot if grown too wet and airless; leaf damage from low humidity while expanding.
- This is exactly the sort of Anthurium name that looks official in the trade but should stay flagged until a proper taxonomic source catches up.
