A hybrid of Anth. Luxury Jungle × Anth. Black Anaconda, two warm-growing hybrid Anthuriums prized for their dramatic foliage. The leaves are broadly cordate with well-defined basal lobes, deeply impressed reticulate venation, a semi-bullate surface, and a strong upright habit — with mature foliage developing a notably deep, dark tone.
-
Light: Bright indirect light with 40–60% shade cloth; avoid direct sun, which can fade the deep leaf tones and scorch the broad 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 bullate texture 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
Hybrid Advantage: This cross brings together the bold leaf architecture of Anth. Luxury Jungle with the deep, dramatic tones of Anth. Black Anaconda, producing a plant with striking visual contrast between juvenile and mature foliage and strong adaptability to warm indoor conditions.
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.
