Anthurium pendulifolium

A lowland Amazonian epiphyte of western Amazonia with long, hanging leaves, collected mostly in Ecuador, Peru and Colombia. Grow it like other warm rainforest bird's-nest Anthurium: mounted or in a basket so the pendent leaves can hang, warm, humid and in bright shade.

Where it grows wild

Herbarium labels describe it as an epiphyte in primary terra firme rainforest and riverside forest, often a few metres up on trunks, with one label calling it a bird's-nest epiphyte. Records cluster along rivers and streams around Iquitos and in the Napo and Cuyabeno basins.

GBIF specimen elevations run 0 to 1200 m with a median near 250 m, so this is a lowland plant.
