Anthurium pallidiflorum is a wonderful strap-leaf species from Ecuador. This species is found in subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests endemic to Ecuador. Its leaves can grow up to 1m in length. This species can produce several inflorescences at one time. Whilst not known for its flowers the flowers are long and striking with a green spadix with an even darker spathe. Anthuriums have been known to self-pollinate but will often go through a female phase before going through the male phase and then dying so collect the pollen from the male phase for future pollination.
 
Caring for Anthurium pallidiflorum is an easy job for an experienced grower. However, even a novice grower can take care of this plant with minimum gardening knowledge. Also, this plant can tolerate humidity as low as 40% making it a much sturdier Anthurium then most. As this species is found in lowland forests this plant doesn’t need direct light as that will damage the plant, moderate indirect light is suitable for this species. Grow plants in a chunky and airy potting mix, and one similar to epiphytic orchids, allowing enough oxygen to the roots. Anthurium pallidiflorum prefer daytime temperatures between 23 and 32 Celsius and night-time temperatures from 15 – 19 Celsius.
