Re: Anthurium cutucuense

I've not had much luck with this species. My understanding is that it comes from an Intermediate cool climate and that it requires the nightly drop in temp down into the low 60s. I believe the lower temps help it preserve energy as it slows down metabolism, similar to some other corrugated Anthuriums that simply melt. In a home setting that's hard to replicate.

I know this is a difficult Anthurium so I thought I'd ask the experts for tips as I want her to, at the very least, live if not thrive.

Right now I have her in a display box with my Splendidum (which is doing great!) along with some other terrarium plants. The box is maintaining 92% humidity and gets medium light. Everything I've read says the cutucuense likes 80% humidity.  Is 92% going to melt her?  My cabinets are at around 50% and 70%, so I feel like this is my only option...

I do have a couple of props so I'll hopefully have another chance if I murder her... ;)
