A hybrid of Anth. Luxury Jungle × Anth. forgetii, combining a vigorous foliage hybrid with a species known for its elongated, sagittate leaves and distinctive metallic sheen. Foliage is large with an acuminate apex, smooth texture, and a subtle silver-green lustre inherited from Anth. forgetii, with a fine, prominent midrib running the full length of the lamina.
-
Light: Bright indirect light with up to 70% shade cloth; avoid direct sun, which dulls the metallic sheen and scorches the leaf surface.
-
Temperature: 65–85°F (18–29°C); a warm tropical grower that thrives with stable intermediate to warm conditions and no cold drafts.
-
Humidity: 60–80%; high humidity enhances the metallic lustre and supports vigorous new leaf production.
-
Watering: Water thoroughly when the top inch of substrate begins to dry; never allow roots to sit in standing water or dry out completely.
-
Growth Habit: Upright to semi-climbing habit with elongated successive leaves; inherits the sagittate leaf architecture and metallic sheen of Anth. forgetii combined with the vigor and adaptability of Anth. Luxury Jungle.
Additional Notes
Arrival & Establishment Recommendation: Pot promptly upon arrival in a well-draining, chunky aroid mix (bark, perlite, and coco coir). Water thoroughly to rehydrate the roots and place in a warm, humid spot away from direct sun for the first two weeks.
