A hybrid of Anth. Andean Magic × Anth. Fantasy, two warm-growing hybrid Anthuriums selected for their bold, velvety foliage. The leaves are elongated-cordate with an acuminate tip, prominently arching primary and secondary venation, a semi-matte to lightly velvety surface, and reddish petioles 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 flatten the velvety texture and scorch the leaf surface.
-
Temperature: 65–82°F (18–28°C); a warm tropical grower that thrives with stable temperatures and no cold drafts.
-
Humidity: 70–85%; high ambient humidity enhances the velvety surface quality and supports full leaf expansion.
-
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
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.
