About this plant
Anthurium Clarinervium suits indoor spots with bright, indirect light, tolerates medium light with fewer flowers. Listed by the ASPCA as toxic to cats and dogs, so keep it away from pets.
Wants bright, indirect light and a humid spot away from AC vents, and is grown for thick, velvety heart-shaped leaves with bold white veins.
Anthurium clarinervium, sometimes called the velvet cardboard Anthurium, is native to Chiapas in southern Mexico. It is grown for its foliage: thick, almost stiff, heart-shaped leaves with a deep green velvet surface and striking silvery-white veins. New leaves often open in a bronze tone before turning green.
In Dubai, velvet-leaved Anthuriums need a little more care than the flowering types. They enjoy the indoor warmth but dislike dry air-conditioned rooms, which can crisp the leaf edges and slow new growth, so a humid spot, a pebble tray or grouping with other plants helps. Give bright, indirect light, never direct sun through glass, and let the airy mix dry slightly between waterings, as wet, dense soil rots the roots.
Clarinervium suits desks, shelves and collector displays in bright rooms, and it looks especially good at eye level. We offer it at around 30–40 cm, in a nursery pot or a ceramic pot.

Care guide for Dubai homes
How to keep Anthurium Clarinervium healthy through the Dubai year.
Light
Bright, indirect light; tolerates medium light with fewer flowers. Keep it out of harsh direct afternoon sun in summer.
Watering
Every 6–8 days indoors, when the top 2–3 cm of soil is dry; less in winter. Water when the top 2 to 3 cm of soil feels dry, empty the saucer afterwards, and check the soil before you water: AC slows how fast the plant uses water.
Care notes
Soil: airy, chunky mix of bark, perlite and potting soil; never heavy garden soil. Feeding: a liquid feed for flowering plants at half strength once a month from March to October. Common mistake: planting it in heavy potting soil, which stays wet and rots the roots. Where it works: desks, shelves and collector displays in bright rooms.
AC and air flow
Keep it at least 1 metre from AC vents. Cold air blowing straight onto the leaves dries the edges.
Cleaning the leaves
Dust settles quickly in Dubai homes. Wipe the leaves with a damp cloth every few weeks so they keep taking in light.
Feeding and repotting
Feed once a month from March to October. Repot every 2 years into a pot one size up, or book a Plant Doctor visit and we do it for you.
Pets
Listed by the ASPCA as toxic to cats and dogs (insoluble calcium oxalates; can cause oral irritation, pain and swelling of the mouth, drooling, vomiting and difficulty swallowing).

Anthurium Clarinervium FAQs
Does it need high humidity?
It appreciates humidity. In dry AC rooms, use a pebble tray, group it with other plants or keep it in a bright bathroom.
How big does it get?
It grows slowly and usually stays around 40–60 cm tall and wide indoors, with leaves up to about 25 cm long.
Can it grow outdoors in Dubai?
It is best kept indoors. Summer heat, sun and dry winds damage the leaves, though a fully shaded, sheltered spot can work briefly in the cooler months.
Is it toxic to pets?
Yes. The ASPCA lists Anthurium (flamingo flower) as toxic to cats and dogs because of insoluble calcium oxalates.
