About Anthurium podophyllum

Anthurium podophyllum produces deeply divided, palmate-lobed leaves reminiscent of the larger Anthurium clavigerum but at a considerably more manageable size, making it a popular introduction to the dissected-leaf Anthurium species for collectors without space for a mature clavigerum. Juvenile leaves start simple and undivided, developing the characteristic multi-lobed shape as the plant matures.

Native Range

Mexico

A Manageable Introduction to Dissected Leaves

Podophyllum offers a taste of the dramatic, divided-leaf Anthurium look at a scale that actually fits on a normal shelf, unlike its larger relative clavigerum. A good pick for anyone curious about palmate Anthuriums without committing to a plant that eventually needs its own corner of a room.
