A hybrid of Anthurium Emerald Throne × Anth. dressleri, combining a large-leaved collector hybrid with a bullate species from the cloud forests of Central America. It develops broad, deeply cordate leaves with a semi-matte to slightly bullate surface, prominent pinnate venation, and well-defined basal lobes on robust, darkly pigmented 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 thrives with stable temperatures and no cold drafts.
-
Humidity: 70–90%; sustained high humidity promotes full leaf expansion and enhances the bullate surface texture.
-
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 large, dark cordate architecture of Emerald Throne and the bullate leaf texture and prominent venation of Anth. dressleri, resulting in a bold, sculptural specimen with strong collector appeal.
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.
