A hybrid of Anth. cerrocampanense × Anth. fogetii, two large-leaved species from the cloud forests of South America. It produces broad, deeply cordate leaves with a smooth to semi-matte surface, fine pinnate venation, and rounded basal lobes on reddish petioles.
-
Light: Bright indirect light with up to 70% shade cloth; avoid direct sun, which can bleach and damage the leaf surface.
-
Temperature: 60–75°F (15–24°C); an intermediate-warm grower that performs best with stable, humid conditions.
-
Humidity: 70–90%; consistent high humidity supports vigorous leaf development and prevents tip burn.
-
Watering: Water thoroughly and allow the top layer to approach dryness before the next watering; avoid prolonged waterlogging or complete desiccation.
-
Growth Habit: Upright and vigorous, inheriting the broad cordate leaf form of Anth. cerrocampanense and the smooth, large-bladed architecture of Anth. fogetii, producing an impressive, fast-growing aroid.
Additional Notes
Arrival & Establishment Recommendation: Upon arrival, plant promptly in a well-draining aroid mix (chunky bark, perlite, and sphagnum). Water thoroughly to rehydrate the roots and place in a warm, humid spot away from direct airflow while the plant acclimates.
