Anthurium pulcachense

Anthurium pulcachense is a Peruvian Anthurium with narrow dark green leaves, a softly subvelvety upper surface and deep rose-pink cataphylls around new growth. The elongated blades are held on upright petioles and show their texture best in filtered light.

The species comes from San Martín, Peru, near Pulcache, at 630–950 m elevation in Premontane wet forest. In cultivation, it should be treated as a warm, humidity-loving terrestrial Anthurium with dense roots, a short stem and a need for steady moisture in an airy substrate.

Narrow leaves, rose cataphylls and Peruvian habitat

  • Leaf shape: Blades are narrowly ovate and cordate to subcordate, with an elongated outline.
  • Leaf surface: The upper leaf surface is dark green and subvelvety, while the underside is paler and matte.
  • Cataphylls: New growth is wrapped by deep rose-pink cataphylls that can remain visible around the stem.
  • Petioles: The petioles are sharply triangular-winged, adding detail beyond the leaf blade itself.
  • Growth habit: The species has a short erect stem, short internodes and dense roots.
  • Origin: It comes from wet premontane forest near Pulcache in San Martín, Peru.

Short-stemmed growth and dense roots

Anthurium pulcachense develops from a short stem with closely spaced growth and dense roots. Its leaves are held erect to spreading, with narrow blades that show a dark upper surface and a paler, matte underside. Deep rose-pink cataphylls wrap new growth around the short stem.

The dense root zone should stay evenly moist and warm, with enough coarse material that water drains through the pot and air returns around the roots after watering.

Wet-forest care for Anthurium pulcachense

  • Humidity: Higher humidity helps new leaves and cataphylls open smoothly, especially while growth is soft.
  • Watering: Keep the substrate lightly and evenly moist, watering before the root ball dries hard.
  • Substrate: Use an airy, moisture-retentive aroid mix with bark, fibre and mineral drainage material.
  • Light: Give bright filtered light. Direct sun can mark the subvelvety leaf surface and dull the dark green surface.
  • Stem care: Keep the short stem above compacted wet substrate so the base stays firm and oxygen reaches the roots.
  • Temperature: Keep it consistently warm. Cold stress can slow new growth and damage wet roots.
  • Leaf care: Clean leaves gently and avoid polishing products, which can mark or clog the softly textured surface.
  • Feeding: Feed lightly during active growth. Excess fertiliser can leave residue on roots and leaf surfaces.

Leaf and cataphyll issues

  • Stuck cataphylls: Dry air can cause new growth to catch before the leaf expands fully.
  • Distorted leaves: Low humidity, root stress or pest damage can affect narrow new blades while they are still soft.
  • Yellowing leaves: Stale wet substrate around dense roots can lead to root stress and yellow foliage.
  • Dull leaf surface: Direct sun, mineral residue or rough cleaning can mark the subvelvety upper side.
  • Slow recovery: Chilling can pause growth for a long period, especially if the substrate is wet.

Handling safety for Anthurium pulcachense

Anthurium pulcachense contains insoluble calcium oxalate crystals and should not be placed where pets or small children can chew it. Contact with sap can irritate sensitive skin, so wash your hands after pruning or handling damaged tissue.

Locality and name background

Anthurium pulcachense is an accepted species described by Thomas B. Croat and published in Novon in 2008. The species comes from San Martín, Peru, near Pulcache, and the name refers to that locality. Its documented habitat is Premontane wet forest at 630–950 m elevation.

New growth on Anthurium pulcachense combines narrow dark leaves with rose-pink cataphylls around a short, dense-rooted stem.

Nice simple wallet
Color: Derrick Brown, Size: One Size
I purchased this for my husband. It’s one inch shorter than his previous wallet, which had us worried at first. However, it fits all his cards. It has a nice look to it and time of good quality. My husband says he’s happy with it and really likes it.

Expensive, but a well-made slim front pocket wallet
Color: Steven Medium Brown, Size: One Size, Color: Steven Medium Brown, Size: One Size
This is a review for the Fossil “Steven” Front Pocket Bifold Wallet. This wallet measures 4.5 inches x 3.0 inches. It is made with soft-touch leather all around (which feels fantastic), and the build quality is top-notch. It is definitely smaller than a typical wallet, but is still able to hold a good number of cards. I could easily fit about 12 cards into this wallet while still being relatively slim and compact. The wallet is discreet with only a “Fossil” logo that is embossed on the inside. The fabric lining of the cash compartment is treated with an anti-microbial coating. There’s more information about this coating on the manufacturer’s website, but it seems this is to protect against viruses and germs that maybe on cash notes. And while other wallets feature RFID Blocking, this wallet does not claim to do so. This wallet is definitely pricey. And you can easily find other slim wallets for much less. But, I suppose I’m paying for the brand name - and I do like Fossil products. So if you want a brand name wallet that is well-made and slim - this is a good option to consider.

Slim but capable
Color: Steven Medium Brown, Size: One Size
I've had my old wallet for over two decades, it's warren and the edges are starting to fall apart and I thought I'd be proactive and get a new one before it was completely useless. With all the new slim minimalist designs I was intregeed. This is what I found out, at least for my needs. These new elastic card clips, are nice size wise, are not what the are advertised to be. They are small in your pocket but you need another place for the items you don't use everyday. So as far as being slim and efficient they are misleading. Unless you plan ahead you won't have what you need, say health insurance cards oops forgot them cause I don't use them everyday. Ones with cash clips or elastic bands aren't what they are cracked up to be either. To pull out a bill you need to take all the bills out unfold then and then refold the and squeeze the back in the clip, not covenant. Next I tried a bi-fold card holder with a money clip. This solved the having everything I needed even if I didn't use it everyday but still had the cash usability issue which required less folding but still needed to pull all the bills out to use. Plus it wasn't any dinner or smaller then my old wallet. Then I found this wallet, it was pretty much the same as my old one minus one card slot due to the visible ID slot. So in the end this was the perfect wallet for me. Not sure what my old wallet was as the leather is very well worn but I'm guessing it is the same brand. One other thing this wallet is not scan protected which the other slim wallets were. But you can buy cheap sleeves to place on either side to protect against this if your concerned. One benefit of not having this feature is the ability to keep your key card in your wallet and have it work. Again slim but needing multiple place for your items is not efficient, was not a fan of the carabineer I had to also carry while using the slim wallets.

Great wallet
Color: Steven Medium Brown, Size: One Size
Great and very durable wallet. They are slim, fit well in a pocket, and are thin, unless you have lots of CC and money in it.
