🌿 Anthurium ‘Pterodactyl’
Genus: Anthurium
Anthurium ‘Pterodactyl’ is a striking collector hybrid admired for its dramatic, wing-like foliage and bold venation.
While not formally registered, it is widely believed among growers to be a hybrid involving
Anthurium clarinervium and Anthurium pedatoradiatum.
This unique combination explains its thick, velvety leaf texture, luminous vein pattern, and elongated, deeply lobed form that resembles outstretched wings. As the plant matures, the foliage becomes increasingly sculptural, with broader lobes and more pronounced veining—making each new leaf more impressive than the last.
Although its exact origin is undocumented, both presumed parent species are native to tropical regions of Mexico, where they grow in warm, humid forests as epiphytes or lithophytes. These environmental preferences are reflected in ‘Pterodactyl’s’ love for humidity, airflow, and bright filtered light.
