Given something to climb, it develops into an unusual and highly architectural specimen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe foliage is particularly interesting because \u003cstrong\u003eits appearance changes substantially with maturity\u003c\/strong\u003e. Juvenile plants produce relatively simple elongated leaves, while mature specimens can develop larger, increasingly textured and bullate foliage with more complex, lobed forms. This dramatic change from juvenile to mature foliage makes sp. ‘Limón’ especially rewarding to grow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe designation \u003cstrong\u003e“sp.” indicates that this plant is recognized as belonging to the genus \u003cem\u003eAnthurium\u003c\/em\u003e, but its species identity has not been formally or reliably established.\u003c\/strong\u003e Rather than assigning an unsupported species name, it continues to circulate among collectors under the horticultural designation \u003cem\u003eAnthurium\u003c\/em\u003e sp. ‘Limón’.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAn interesting note on the name and its possible origin:\u003c\/strong\u003e The precise wild provenance of sp. ‘Limón’ does not appear to be reliably documented in the horticultural trade. However, Limón (General Plaza) and the surrounding Limón-Indanza region of Morona Santiago, Ecuador, are established botanical collecting localities where numerous \u003cem\u003eAnthurium\u003c\/em\u003e specimens have been documented by Dr. Croate, et al. Plants sold as sp. ‘Limón’ have also circulated through Ecuadorian aroid growers for years. An Ecuadorian origin is therefore plausible, but without an original collection record tying this plant to that locality, it should be regarded as an interesting possibility rather than confirmed provenance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor collectors accustomed to velvet Anthurium hybrids, sp. ‘Limón’ offers something completely different: an unusual vining growth habit, prolific aerial rooting and a mature phenotype remarkably different from its juvenile form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYou will receive the exact plant pictured.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MonsteraEtc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52739329130778,"sku":null,"price":69.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0712\/1325\/2890\/files\/IMG_4830.jpg?v=1787618029","url":"https:\/\/monsteraetc.com\/es\/products\/anthurium-sp-limon","provider":"MonsteraEtc ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
