A living botanical artifact composed of Anthurium cerrobaulense and a handmade black clay vessel by Italian ceramic artist Bella.
The plant is a selfing from a legacy Chiapan accession of a species native to the Pacific slope forests of Oaxaca and Chiapas, México. It is showy, resilient, and somewhat drought tolerant for an anthurium, with thick succulent roots that prefer room to move.
The vessel reads like excavated bark, volcanic ceramic, or a fragment of an older ecology. Together, plant and clay form a small reconstructed system: foothill forest, handmade earth, moss, and time.
Warm bright shade. Airflow. Do not keep wet. Slightly over-potted by design.
Care notes
can handle light
Mineral-based substrate
Heavy pumice + charcoal
No standing wetness
Strong airflow
50–80% humidity
Balanced organic nutrients
Repot expected in ~18 months
Long-lasting substrate preferred
Object note
Plant and vessel are treated as one artifact: rare botanical material housed in a handmade black clay form that feels less like a pot and more like a biological structure paused mid-growth.
