Cyrtosperma johnstonii: A striking and unusual tropical aroid prized for its large arrow-shaped foliage, dramatic architectural growth habit, and heavily armed petioles lined with sharp spines resembling rose thorns. The prominent thorn-like projections give this remarkable species a distinctive appearance unlike most commonly cultivated aroids. Native to the tropical South Pacific, Cyrtosperma johnstonii develops increasingly impressive foliage as it matures, creating a bold tropical display.
