Anthurium Polyschistum ‘Tweed’

Anthurium Polyschistum Tweed (Anthurium polyschistum ‘Tweed’) is an unusual anthurium whose grey-green leaves are split into narrow, finger-like leaflets, more like a small palm than a typical anthurium. We ship it within the US as a plant similar to the one in the photos.

What does Anthurium Polyschistum Tweed look like?

Each leaf is divided into several thin leaflets that spread from one point like an open hand. The name says as much: polyschistum means many times split. The leaflets are matte grey-green and slightly wavy, and the plant grows as a slim climber with leaves spaced along the stem.

Nothing else in the genus looks much like it, which is why it stands out next to the heart-shaped velvets. ‘Tweed’ is a trade name for this form. Browse other anthuriums to see the contrast.

How do you care for Anthurium Polyschistum Tweed?

• Light: Bright indirect light. No direct sun, which yellows the thin leaflets.
• Water: Water when the top inch of mix is dry. Keep it evenly moist, never soggy.
• Humidity: 60% or higher. Dry air shows first as brown tips on the leaflets.
• Soil: A chunky aroid mix of orchid bark, perlite and some sphagnum or coir. The roots need air as much as water.
• Temperature: 60–85°F. Keep it above 60°F.
• Pets: Toxic to cats and dogs. Anthuriums contain calcium oxalate crystals that irritate the mouth and stomach if chewed.

Give it a small moss pole or stake. As a climber it grows taller and fuller when the stem has something to hold, instead of flopping over the pot edge.
