Anthurium forgetii x (Anth. Dr. Block F2 x NSE Red Crystal)

A hybrid of Anth. forgetii × (Anth. Dr. Block F2 × NSE Red Crystal), combining a prized South American species with a complex hybrid line selected for bold venation. The leaves are broadly cordate with a highly geometric, prominently raised reticulate venation pattern, a semi-matte surface, and a strong upright habit — with new growth emerging in a striking contrasting flush.

• Light: Bright indirect light with 40–60% shade cloth; avoid direct sun, which can fade the venation contrast and scorch the broad leaves.
• Temperature: 65–82°F (18–28°C); a warm tropical grower that thrives with stable temperatures and no cold drafts.
• Humidity: 70–85%; high ambient humidity enhances the geometric venation pattern and supports full leaf expansion.
• Watering: Water thoroughly when the top layer of substrate begins to dry; avoid waterlogging and never allow roots to sit in standing water.

Additional Notes

Hybrid Advantage: This cross brings together the iconic venation of Anth. forgetii with the vigorous hybrid genetics of Anth. Dr. Block F2 × NSE Red Crystal, producing a plant with an exceptionally bold and geometric leaf pattern, strong growth rate, and reliable adaptability to warm indoor conditions.

Arrival & Establishment Recommendation: Upon arrival, plant promptly in a well-draining aroid mix (chunky perlite, bark, and coco coir). Water generously at first planting to rehydrate the roots and encourage rapid establishment.
