A hybrid of Anth. Green Heart × (Anth. Dr. Block × Anth. Red Crystal NSE), combining broad cordate foliage with striking iridescent new growth and a robust, upright habit. Leaves emerge with a warm blush flush that matures to deep matte green, with prominent venation and a semi-glossy to velvety texture.
-
Light: Bright indirect light with 50–70% shade cloth; avoid direct sun, which can scorch the developing leaves.
-
Temperature: 65–82°F (18–28°C); a warm tropical grower that appreciates stable conditions without cold drafts.
-
Humidity: 70–90%; high humidity supports full leaf expansion and enhances the velvety texture of maturing foliage.
-
Watering: Water thoroughly and allow the top layer to approach dryness before the next watering; never allow the substrate to become waterlogged or fully dry out.
-
Growth Habit: Upright and moderately vigorous, inheriting the broad cordate architecture of Green Heart with the iridescent new-growth coloration and compact internodes from the Dr. Block × Red Crystal NSE cross.
