The plant is amazing! I have said and I am sure many others have said this plant has possible the most beautiful leaves of any plant in the world. It is a anthurium and can be grown several ways. I grow mine in pro mix though i have seen it grown mounted on a plaque and grown in orchid mix. The think to take in is how much humidity do you have if you have a ton it can grow mounted or in orchid mix if not I would suggest the pro mix. It acutally does not like heat temps at 65 to 85 are best give or take a bit. It can be a house plant watch out for spider mites which will look like white speckles on the leaves. The plant comes from equador in higher elevations. If your familiar with mountain air thats what they like. Cool humid cloud forest are the perfect place to grow them. But you can get away with anything close to this. You will get leaf burning if you have to much light or to much heat so watch for that as well. Here is a pic of a larger plant. I have a lot of these they are great plants I have also been breeding with them to make some new hybrids which should look very amazing once full grown.
