A Cascading Masterpiece of Color The standard Anthurium vittarifolium is already beloved for its elegant, draping strap leaves, but the Tricolor Variegata form is an absolute "unicorn" in the rare plant hobby. This epiphyte (tree-dweller) produces elongated, velvety-smooth leaves that hang downward like living ribbons. The highly unstable and deeply coveted tricolor genetics mean that no two leaves are ever the same, offering a dynamic and jaw-dropping display of high-contrast variegation.
The Tricolor Genetic Expression Unlike standard two-tone variegation, this specific cultivar expresses three distinct color profiles on a single leaf:
| Botanical Name | Anthurium vittarifolium (Tricolor Variegated) |
| Common Names | Variegated Strap-Leaf Anthurium, Pendant Anthurium |
| Plant Type | Epiphytic Trailing Aroid |
| Toxicity | Toxic to pets and humans if ingested. Keep out of reach. |
| Growth Rate | Slow to Moderate |
| Leaf Length | Can reach 1.5 to 2+ meters (5 to 7 feet) long at full maturity. |
| Rarity Level | Unicorn / Museum-Quality Collector's Item |
Successfully exporting live plants from Indonesia requires strict adherence to international agricultural laws. Our shipping process is designed to ensure legal compliance and the safe arrival of your plants.
We do not hold plants in stagnant boxes. Your order processing begins the moment your purchase is confirmed.
Timeline: Processing takes 4 to 7 business days before dispatch.
The Process: We retrieve your plant from our local partner farm, unpot it, meticulously clean the roots, and transition it into sterile sphagnum moss.
Legal Export: The plant is then inspected by the Indonesian Ministry of Agriculture. The required Phytosanitary Certificate is included completely free of charge with every international order.
We ship exclusively via premium international couriers to minimize transit stress.
Carriers: DHL Express.
Estimated Transit: 4 to 8 business days worldwide, once the package leaves our facility.
Tracking: You will receive an automated email with tracking information the moment your box is scanned by the courier.
To comply with international laws banning the import of foreign soil, all plants must be shipped bare-root.
Root Care: Wrapped in lightly moist, sterile sphagnum moss to maintain hydration without inducing rot.
Foliage Protection: Cushioned with breathable dacron/cotton to prevent physical damage.
Climate Control: Thermal insulation is used in all boxes. For orders shipping to cold climates, we monitor the destination weather and include heat packs free of charge.
International buyers act as the legal importer of record.
Import Permits: You are strictly responsible for knowing your country's import regulations and securing any required permits prior to ordering (e.g., USA buyers require a USDA APHIS PPQ 587 permit for orders of 13 or more plants).
Customs Delays & Seizures: Tropical Aroid is not liable for packages delayed, confiscated, or destroyed by your local customs authority due to a lack of required import permits or unpaid duties.
Taxes: Any import taxes, VAT, or customs duties levied by your country are the sole responsibility of the buyer.
While we pack rigorously, transit stress occurs. If your plant arrives critically damaged or Dead on Arrival (DOA), it is covered under our Live Arrival Guarantee (LAG). You must provide an unboxing video within 24 hours of delivery to claim a free replacement plant (buyer is responsible for the shipping cost of the replacement).
