Anthurium recavum – A Rare Aroid with Quilted, Glossy Foliage

Distinctive Features and Growth Habit

Anthurium recavum is a rare terrestrial or epiphytic species from the Andes, recognized for its narrowly ovate-sagittate leaves, glossy surface, and deeply quilted veins. Its striking foliage, combined with a uniquely shaped sinus where the leaf lobes turn inward, makes it an eye-catching plant for collectors. This species is further distinguished by its purplish spathe and rosy to lavender-purple spadix, which contrast beautifully with the dark green leaves.

Key Characteristics of Anthurium recavum

  • Foliage: Narrowly ovate-sagittate leaves, glossy to semi-glossy, with quilted, sunken veins.
  • Growth Habit: Terrestrial or epiphytic, with short internodes and persistent, reddish-brown cataphylls.
  • Size: Leaves reach 18 – 68 cm in length and 10 – 28 cm in width.
  • Inflorescence: Produces a purplish spathe and a rosy to lavender-purple spadix.
  • Toxicity: Contains calcium oxalate crystals, making it toxic if ingested by pets or children.

Natural Habitat and Growing Conditions

  • Native Range: Found in Costa Rica, Colombia, Ecuador.
  • Altitude: Grows between 600 – 2,095 m in lower montane and premontane wet forests.
  • Best Placement: Prefers bright, indirect light similar to its natural understory environment.
  • Temperature: Thrives in temperatures between 18°C – 26°C, avoiding cold drafts.
  • Humidity: Requires high humidity above 60% to maintain its glossy foliage.

How to Care for Anthurium recavum

  • Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Can tolerate lower light but may grow slower.
  • Watering: Water when the top 2-3 cm of soil is dry. Avoid overwatering to prevent root rot.
  • Soil and Potting: Requires a well-draining mix with orchid bark, perlite, and humus-rich components.
  • Fertilizing: Apply a diluted, balanced fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during active growth.
  • Propagation: Best propagated via stem cuttings with aerial roots.
  • Support: Benefits from a moss pole or trellis for climbing as an epiphyte.

Common Issues and How to Fix Them

  • Root Rot: Avoid overwatering and use a well-draining mix.
  • Pests: Watch for spider mites and thrips; treat with neem oil, or use beneficial insects or insecticidal soap.
  • Leaf Discoloration: Low humidity can cause browning edges – use a humidifier if needed.

Additional Notes

  • Unique Sinus Shape: The leaf’s posterior lobes curve inward, sometimes overlapping.
  • Leaf Texture: Subcoriaceous (firm, slightly leathery) with prominent raised veins.

Etymology: The Origin of the Name

Anthurium recavum was described by botanist Thomas Croat in 2010. Its name likely refers to its recurved sinus, a defining leaf feature.

Well argued
Format: Paperback
Perhaps I should say at once that giving this slim but meaty volume five stars doesn't mean I personally agree with it. It has been many years since I have subscribed to the substitutionary theory of Jesus' death or the idea that the Bible is anything other than a record of human interfaces with the Unknown. But a review is not the place to argue such points at length. Also, it behooves people who want to think, to seek out alternate and even opposing points of view, in order to test and maybe revise their ideas. Jeremy Treat did not change my mind, but he might have if I held the same view he apparently does of Scripture. He argues well, clearly, and persuasively, and makes a Christianity grounded on this view look at least potentially like a pretty good basis for decent living. There are one or two points that troubled me a little. The concept that Jesus died for us as a community is sound in itself, but if carried to extremes looks very much like the idea that underlay the infamous religious wars and persecutions. Also, on page 86, Treat says: "Forgiveness is not merely dismissing a wrong. My wife and I teach our children that when someone apologizes to them, they should not respond by simply saying, 'It's okay' … To truly forgive, one acknowledges the wrongdoing but chooses to not hold it against the wrongdoer. Forgiveness is … accepting the penalty on behalf of the wrongdoer for the sake of the relationship. It is absorbing the pain yourself rather than seeking to put it back on the other person." Now, to me, this looks like such a clear recipe for Trouble that I very much wish Treat provided several examples for how, exactly, he sees it working in everyday life. Sometimes, as when the apology is a "Sorry" for inadvertently jostling you in a crowd, the simple "It's okay" seems to me by far the best response. These few possible danger points, however, should be understood in the context of the book as a whole, which gives me the very strong impression of a practical pastor who knows his stuff, makes things hang coherently together, and probably gives useful and comforting counsel. I'm guessing, by his book, that he is a man I'd enjoy talking with in person.

Great sink organizer!
Good quality storage/organizer for the kitchen sink. It’s stable and can hold an assortment of dish cleaning products close to the sink. It has a plastic dish underneath to collect drip-off water. This is exactly what I needed to organize!
