A hybrid of Anth. Wild Queen × Anth. warocqueanum, combining a vigorous hybrid with one of the most iconic velvety-leaved species from the cloud forests of South America. It produces long, narrowly lanceolate leaves with prominent pale venation, a firm leathery texture, and an upright to slightly pendant habit.
-
Light: Bright indirect light with 50–70% shade cloth; avoid direct sun, which can scorch the thin lamina.
-
Temperature: 60–75°F (16–24°C); an intermediate-warm grower that benefits from stable, consistent temperatures without cold drafts.
-
Humidity: 70–90%; high humidity supports full leaf expansion and maintains the characteristic velvety surface texture.
-
Watering: Water thoroughly when the top layer of substrate begins to dry; never allow the roots to sit in saturated media or dry out completely.
-
Growth Habit: Upright to pendant, with elongated strap-like leaves inherited from A. warocqueanum and the vigorous adaptability of Wild Queen; well-suited to intermediate-warm indoor conditions with exceptional ornamental appeal.
Additional Notes
Arrival & Establishment Recommendation: Upon arrival, plant promptly in a well-draining aroid mix (bark, perlite, and sphagnum) and water thoroughly to rehydrate the roots; allow the plant to acclimate in a humid, shaded spot for the first two weeks before introducing to its permanent position.
