Anthurium insigne x Anthurium carlablackiae

A hybrid of Anth. insigne × Anth. carlablackiae, two large-growing species from the cloud forests of South America. The leaves are elongated-sagittate with well-defined basal lobes, an acuminate tip, prominent primary venation, and a semi-matte surface on 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 scorch the large leaf surface.
• Temperature: 65–82°F (18–28°C); a warm tropical grower that performs best with stable temperatures and no cold drafts.
• Humidity: 70–85%; sustained high humidity supports full leaf expansion and maintains the semi-matte surface texture.
• 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 combines two large-leaved South American species, inheriting the bold sagittate architecture of Anth. insigne and the refined leaf structure of Anth. carlablackiae, resulting in a plant with exceptional size potential and strong ornamental presence.

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.
