Anthurium bakeri

Anthurium bakeri is an epiphyte from the tropical Americas, identified by narrow, strap-like leaves 30–60cm long and only 3–5cm wide, considerably narrower than most Anthurium foliage. Mature plants grow pendulously and regularly set bright red berries along the spadix. It tolerates average household humidity better than most collector Anthurium, which keeps it inexpensive and widely available.
