Anthurium moodeanum – A Rare Anthurium with Leathery, Deep-Hued Foliage
Intriguing Foliage and Growth Habit
Anthurium moodeanum is a highly sought-after species with deeply veined, dark-toned leaves that evolve from a rich green to an intense burgundy-chocolate hue as they mature. Its coriaceous (leathery) texture gives the leaves a firm, glossy appearance, making it distinct from velvet-textured Anthuriums. With its upright growth and epiphytic tendencies, it thrives when provided with proper support, making it a bold addition for collectors.
Key Characteristics of Anthurium moodeanum
- Foliage: Elongated, heart-shaped, leathery leaves with pronounced veins.
- Growth Habit: Upright, epiphytic growth with a preference for climbing surfaces.
- Size: Can reach up to 90 cm in height, with broad leaves expanding over time.
- Inflorescence: Produces a pink spathe with a pale pink to white spadix.
- Toxicity: Contains calcium oxalate crystals – toxic if ingested by pets or children.
Essential Care Guide
- Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Can tolerate lower light but grows slower.
- Watering: Water when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Use filtered water to avoid mineral buildup.
- Humidity: Requires humidity above 50%. If dry air is an issue, use a humidifier.
- Temperature: Thrives between 18°C and 29°C. Keep away from cold drafts.
- Soil and Potting: Needs an airy, well-draining mix with orchid bark and perlite. Repot every 1-2 years.
- Fertilizing: Apply a diluted, balanced fertilizer every 4-6 weeks.
- Propagation: Best propagated through stem cuttings with aerial roots.
- Pruning: Remove damaged or yellowing leaves to maintain plant health.
Common Issues and How to Fix Them
- Root Rot: Caused by overwatering. Ensure proper drainage and avoid waterlogged soil.
- Pests: Watch for spider mites, mealybugs, and thrips. Treat with neem oil or insecticidal soap if needed.
- Leaf Curling or Browning: Often due to low humidity. Increase moisture levels with a humidifier.
Additional Notes
- Best Growth Support: Prefers moss poles or trellises to encourage vertical growth.
- Leaf Texture: The coriaceous (leathery) surface makes the foliage firm and durable.
Etymology: The Origin of the Name
Anthurium moodeanum is named after John Mood, a botanist and cultivator who first documented this species.

Excellent Coverage and Very Easy to Apply
Size: 6 Ounce (Pack of 2), Style: SPF 50, Size: 6 Ounce (Pack of 2), Style: SPF 50
I bought this Banana Boat Sport SPF 50 spray about six months ago, and it has worked perfectly for all my outdoor activities. It provides strong and reliable sun protection, even on very sunny days, and I really appreciate that it protects from up to 98% of burning rays. I’ve used it at the beach, walking outdoors, and even on long days outside, and I haven’t experienced any sunburn.
The spray format makes it very easy to apply—quick, even, and mess-free. It absorbs fast without feeling sticky or heavy on the skin, which is something I love because I don’t like sunscreens that leave a greasy layer. It’s also water-resistant, so it stays on even when I sweat or go into the water.
Overall, this sunscreen is ideal if you want strong protection, easy application, and a formula that feels comfortable on the skin. I would definitely buy it again and recommend it for anyone who spends a lot of time outdoors.

29 years of riding a Harley, THIS is the best sun protection I have found for long SUNNY day rides!
Size: 6 Ounce (Pack of 2), Style: SPF 50, Size: 6 Ounce (Pack of 2), Style: SPF 50
This is my "Go To" Sunscreen of choice that I find is the best to quickly spray my arms down good before a long Harley Motorcycle ride! I have tried many brands and styles from creams to face specific to lip balm but this one can does it all in my case! I quickly spray my arms ( no rubbing in required ) and a quick spray in my hand and I then rub my nose and ears , face and i'm ready to ride and I am protected! Most times I only apply this product once a day and works better than anything else for my needs. I am light skin but I have ridden lots this Summer and my arms never burn and now have a deep tan as we are entering fall...
I made the mistake of trying a store brand that looked like this product but was oily and never used it but once!
This Banana boat once sprayed on my arms, I never think about it again as its gone but still protecting my skin!
This is the best I have found after 29 years or riding a motorcycle to protect my skin with the least amount of trouble , No strange or tropical smell, NO greasy feel just quick applied lasting sun protection that has proven itself mile after mile! The BEST Sun product I have found!

It is quick to apply and I've never gotten a burn with it. It doesn't leave marks on my clothing.

Affordable and Effective
Size: 6 Ounce (Pack of 2), Style: SPF 50
It’s really good for the price and super easy to apply. I would recommend having someone help with your back or harder-to-reach areas, because any spots you miss will definitely show if you’re out in the sun for a while. I’ve used this for a couple of years now, and it’s one I keep going back to. If you have more sensitive skin, there may be better options out there, but I personally haven’t had any issues with it so far.

Us it Every Day
Size: 6 Ounce (Pack of 2), Style: SPF 50
This is really a great product and easy to use as a spray. I bike ride every day and my ears/face are exposed to the Florida sun. I use it primarily on my face every day. A moment after a quick spray, the product dries, is not sticky, etc. This will become a recurring purchase.
