About Anthurium friedrichsthalii
Anthurium friedrichsthalii is a narrow, strap-leaved species that stands apart from the broad, heart-shaped foliage typical of many popular collector Anthuriums; its long, pendulous, glossy leaves give it a more grass-like, cascading appearance well suited to hanging displays. It is an epiphytic species from Central American rainforests, appreciated by collectors seeking foliage texture and shape distinct from the velvet-leaved or bird's-nest forms that dominate the genus's popularity.

Propagation Guide
How to Propagate Anthurium friedrichsthalii
4-8 months
Cultivar character is preserved through vegetative cuttings

Care Guide
Anthurium friedrichsthalii Care Guide & Growing Conditions
Very free-draining epiphytic mix: 40% orchid bark, 30% perlite, 20% sphagnum, 10% charcoal, or mount on bark/wood.
Water thoroughly then allow to approach dryness between waterings; this species is more epiphytic than terrestrial.
65-85% preferred.
Balanced liquid fertiliser at quarter strength every 4 weeks in spring and summer.
Every 18-24 months, or when offsets crowd the container.
Common Problems
Root rot
Substrate staying too wet
Ensure very free drainage and allow the substrate to approach dryness between waterings; this species is more sensitive to overwatering than terrestrial Anthuriums
Sparse, thin leaves
Insufficient light
Move to brighter indirect light
A Different Silhouette Entirely
Friedrichsthalii doesn't look like most people's mental image of a collector Anthurium: no velvet, no heart shape, no bold veining. Instead it offers a cascading, grass-like texture that fills a genuinely different role in a hanging display than the upright rosette species that dominate the genus.
Also in: Pendant Strap-Leaf
Species with long, narrow, downward-hanging leaves, usually grown mounted or in hanging baskets rather than upright.
