About This Plant

Anthurium Jenmanii Gold is a foliage Anthurium from the humid rainforests of South America, where it grows as an epiphyte on trees under the forest canopy. It produces large, upright, paddle-shaped leaves that unfurl in a warm golden-green before maturing to a deep, glossy green.

New leaves unfurl golden before turning deep green. Each new leaf that emerges starts as a warm golden-green and slowly transitions to a deep, glossy dark green as it hardens. Watching each new leaf open is a beautiful experience.

Keep it away from pets and children. The ASPCA confirms Anthurium spp. is toxic to cats and dogs. The leaves contain insoluble calcium oxalate crystals that cause mouth pain, drooling, swelling, and vomiting if chewed. Keep it in a spot that pets and small children cannot reach.

It needs a chunky aroid mix and consistent humidity. Like its epiphytic relatives, the Jenmanii Gold needs a well-draining, airy aroid mix with orchid bark and perlite so the roots get oxygen between waterings. Standard potting soil stays too wet and causes root rot. The Anthurium Crystallinum Turtle has the same soil and humidity needs if you want another collector Anthurium for comparison.

Winter Slowdown

The Jenmanii Gold slows significantly from November onward but does not go dormant. The golden unfurling phase on new leaves becomes much shorter or barely visible in low Canadian winter light. New leaf production may pause entirely from December through February.

Toxicity

Toxic to cats and dogs, confirmed by the ASPCA (Anthurium spp.). The leaves, stems, and sap all contain insoluble calcium oxalate crystals. Because the Jenmanii grows very large leaves, there is more surface area that curious pets can reach. Ingestion causes immediate intense burning and irritation of the mouth and throat, drooling, and vomiting. Keep it in a location that pets cannot access.

Pests

The large leaf surface accumulates dust quickly, which hides early spider mite infestations. Wipe the leaves regularly and check undersides each time you water. Scale insects appear as small brown bumps on the thick stems and petioles. Check these areas carefully, as scale on large Anthuriums can spread slowly and go unnoticed for weeks.

Other Plants You Might Like

Not sure this is the right fit? Here are three other plants our Canadian customers love. All ship across Canada and thrive in Canadian homes.

Anthurium Hookeri Variegata. Same family, variegated.

For another foliage Anthurium with a different kind of visual interest, the Anthurium Hookeri Variegata has glossy leaves with irregular cream and pale green variegation in a slightly more compact form.

Anthurium Red. Add colour and blooms.

If you want a flowering Anthurium alongside your Jenmanii Gold, the Anthurium Red is one of the most reliable blooming anthuriums and adds vivid red colour to a bright Canadian room.

Alocasia Golden Dragon. Different family, golden stems.

For another statement plant with golden tones on a large plant, the Alocasia Golden Dragon has bold dragon-wing leaves with warm golden stems and midribs in a similar floor-plant size range.

Common Questions

How often should I water the Anthurium Jenmanii Gold?

Water when the top one to two inches of the aroid mix feel dry. In spring and summer that is roughly every seven to ten days. In a Canadian winter, cut back to every two weeks. This plant is sensitive to overwatering. Our indoor plant watering guide shows exactly how to check moisture before watering.

Does it flower indoors?

Not typically. Unlike most anthuriums sold for their colourful spathes, the Jenmanii is grown as a foliage plant. It rarely flowers indoors under typical Canadian conditions. The appeal is entirely in the bold, structural leaves and the golden-to-green colour transition each new leaf displays.

Is the Anthurium Jenmanii Gold toxic to cats and dogs?

Yes. The ASPCA confirms Anthurium spp. is toxic to cats and dogs. The leaves contain insoluble calcium oxalate crystals, which cause mouth pain, drooling, swelling, and vomiting if chewed. Keep it in a location that pets and small children cannot reach.

Why is the golden colour disappearing on new leaves?

The golden phase is temporary and normal. Each new leaf starts gold and matures to deep green over a few weeks. If new leaves are coming in very green from the start with almost no golden phase, the plant may need more bright indirect light. Read our guide to light requirements for indoor plants to check if the plant is getting enough.

Will it survive a Canadian winter indoors?

Yes. Keep it above 18°C, away from cold glass and heating vents. Growth slows significantly from November to February. Run a humidifier nearby as the dry forced-air heating in Ontario and Quebec homes stresses the large leaves. Reduce watering and stop fertilizing until spring. Our tips on keeping plants alive in winter cover what to watch for.

How to Take Care of Anthurium Jenmanii Gold

Good to Know

Sun: Indirect

Bright indirect light is ideal. A spot near an east-facing window in a Canadian home works well. Avoid direct afternoon sun which scorches the large glossy leaves. The brighter the indirect light, the more vivid the golden phase on each new leaf.

Light: Medium to bright indirect

A spot near an east-facing window works well year-round. From October to February when Canadian daylight shortens, keep it as close to the brightest window as the temperature allows. Low light slows growth significantly and shortens the golden phase of new leaves.

Water: When top 1-2 inches of mix are dry

Water thoroughly until it drains, then wait until the top one to two inches of the aroid mix feel dry. In a Canadian winter, every two weeks or less. Never leave it sitting in standing water or dense wet soil.

Humidity: High

Needs humidity above 60 percent. The dry forced-air heating in Ontario and Quebec homes in winter is the main stressor for this plant. A humidifier running nearby from November to March makes a significant difference in leaf size and health.

Pet Friendly: No

Toxic to cats and dogs, confirmed by the ASPCA. Contains insoluble calcium oxalate crystals. Keep it in a location that pets and small children cannot access.

Pro Tip

The Jenmanii Gold grows large, upright leaves that need room above and around them to develop properly. A plant stand or floor position in a bright corner with good air circulation gives it the best conditions for producing large, healthy leaves through a Canadian winter and beyond.
