Anthurium Lightning

A hybrid of Anth. Silver Streak × Anth. dressleri, combining the velvety, elongated foliage of both parents. Leaves are large, lance-shaped with prominent venation and a semi-bullate texture, growing in an upright to spreading habit.

• Light: Bright indirect light with 40–60% shade cloth; avoid harsh midday sun, which can scorch the thin leaves.
• Temperature: 60–75°F (15–24°C); warm tropical grower that prefers stable conditions without cold drafts.
• Humidity: 70–90%; high humidity promotes full leaf expansion and maintains the velvety texture.
• Watering: Water thoroughly when the top layer of substrate begins to dry; avoid waterlogging and never let roots sit in standing water.

Additional Notes

Hybrid Advantage: This cross combines the striking foliar pattern of Silver Streak with the robust, adaptable growth of Anth. dressleri, resulting in a vigorous plant with exceptional ornamental value and improved adaptability to cultivated conditions.

Arrival & Establishment Recommendation: Upon arrival, plant promptly in a well-draining aroid mix (bark, perlite, and sphagnum). Water thoroughly to rehydrate the roots and place in a humid, shaded environment for the first 1–2 weeks to allow full establishment.
