Anthurium schlechtendalii 

Anthurium schlechtendalii, commonly known as Pheasant Tail Anthurium or Giant Anthurium, is a striking tropical plant with large, glossy green leaves that grow in a rosette formation. Known for its impressive size and unique inflorescence, which features a long, curling spadix, this Anthurium adds an exotic, architectural look to both indoor and outdoor spaces. Reaching a height of 1–1.5 meters, it’s a stunning choice for tropical gardens, shaded patios, or as an indoor specimen plant in larger spaces.

Position


Pheasant Tail Anthurium thrives in partial to full shade, preferring bright, indirect light if grown indoors. It enjoys warm, humid conditions and should be placed in a sheltered spot protected from strong winds and direct sunlight, which can damage its large leaves.

Growth


This slow-growing Anthurium variety reaches a mature height of 1–1.5 meters with a spread of about 1 meter. Its large, paddle-shaped leaves and unique spadix make it a standout choice for creating a lush, tropical atmosphere in shaded garden beds or as a statement plant indoors.

Planting Guide


Anthurium schlechtendalii grows best in well-drained, rich soil that retains moisture. Plant in spring or early summer, allowing space for its large spread. For indoor planting, use a high-quality, well-draining potting mix, ideally with added organic material to promote moisture retention. Position at soil level, water well, and apply a layer of mulch to help retain moisture around the base.

Plant Care


Water regularly, keeping the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. This plant enjoys high humidity, so misting the leaves or placing a humidifier nearby is recommended, particularly for indoor settings. Fertilise every 4–6 weeks during spring and summer with a balanced, slow-release fertiliser to support healthy growth. Remove any yellowing or damaged leaves to keep the plant looking its best.

How Our Shipping is Calculated?
Not sure how many plants to buy? Worried freight will be too much? No need to worry, we have a flat shipping rate (up to one pallet) for deliveries from the nursery to your home. Whether you purchase 1 plant, 2 plants or 10 plants the freight charge remains the same. This is because our expert plant courier charges by the pallet. The pictures below help illustrate this. The more plants you purchase the more economical the shipping becomes.  As a guide, a pallet generally holds the following quantities of plants. Please note the following quantities will vary when pot sizes are mixed. One pallet will generally hold;

61 x 200mm pots
or
41 x 250mm pots
or
25 x 300mm pots
or
13 x 400mm pots

We can also load it to hold a combination of the above.  Please note that large orders requiring additional pallets will be charged per pallet at the rates outlined above per pallet.   

Refund Policy 

Our Green Thumb Guarantee

We understand purchasing plants online is not for everyone. We also understand you may have noticed differences in the quality of plants offered from different retailers. We want to reassure you that our plants are amongst the best quality available. From the quality potting mixes and fertilisers to the specialised plant courier we use to deliver to your door.

If for any reason you are not entirely happy with the quality of your plants on arrival, we will take them back to the nursery and give you a full refund including shipping charges. 

This return policy applies within 1 day of delivery.  Please provide the delivery driver with your receipt and contact us on admin@sunshinecoastplants.com.au or 0493 100 518   

There are however a few situations where our Green Thumb Guarantee does not apply;

Variations in size from website photos - Occasionally due to seasonal variation and demand, some stock size differences will occur. We cannot refund your order if there is a discrepancy in size from online photos. Rest assure, we will not send any stock out unless it is close to the advertised size.

Not present at time of delivery – If you are not able to be home at the time of delivery, we are more than happy to leave your plants in a pre-advised safe spot. Our drivers care for our plants as much as we do and are well seasoned on where is a good spot to leave them. Unfortunately, we don’t have control over pets, weather or theft etc and therefore we cannot extent our Green Thumb Guarantee if you are not home at the time of delivery.

If in the unlikely situation you are not happy with the quality of your plants they will need to be reloaded back on the truck at the time of delivery. Any plants left behind once the driver has departed cannot be refunded.

We hope our Green Thumb Guarantee makes you feel more comfortable purchasing plants online. Thanks, from the Sunshine Coast Plants team, we hope you love your plants as much as we do.
