Phyllotaenium is known for its striking, arrow-shaped leaves with prominent white or silvery veins against a dark green background. It's often cultivated as an ornamental plant, particularly the cultivar Phyllotaenium lindenii 'Magnificum'. 

Key Characteristics:
  • Leaves: Large, arrow-shaped leaves with prominent white or silvery veins. 
  • Growth Habit: Tuberous geophyte, meaning it grows from a tuberous rhizome and can go through periods of dormancy. 
  • Native Habitat: Wet lowland forests of Panama and Colombia. 
  • Cultivation: Primarily grown for its foliage, not its flowers. 
  • Toxicity: Contains calcium oxalate, which can cause irritation if ingested. 
Care Tips:
  • Light: Bright, indirect light is ideal.
  • Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy.
  • Humidity: Prefers high humidity, which can be achieved through misting, humidifiers, or grouping plants together.
  • Soil: Well-draining potting mix is recommended.
