Anthurium Dr. Block x Red Crystal NSE x (Anth. carlablackiae)

A complex hybrid of Anthurium Dr. Block × Red Crystal NSE × Anthurium carlablackiae, combining three lines selected for velvety texture and reticulate venation. Leaves are large, ovate-cordate with a deep, near-black velvety surface and a bold silver-cream geometric venation pattern — a hallmark of A. carlablackiae influence.

• Light: Bright indirect light with up to 70% shade cloth; avoid direct sun, which bleaches the deep velvety surface and diminishes the venation contrast.
• Temperature: 65–82°F (18–28°C); a warm to intermediate grower that thrives with stable warmth and no cold drafts below 55°F (13°C).
• Humidity: 70–90%; high humidity is essential to maintain the characteristic velvety texture and support vigorous new leaf development.
• Watering: Water thoroughly when the top inch of substrate dries out; avoid saturation and do not allow the roots to dry out completely between waterings.

Additional Notes

Hybrid Advantage: This three-way cross delivers exceptional ornamental impact, combining the velvety depth of Dr. Block and Red Crystal NSE with the striking geometric silver venation inherited from A. carlablackiae — a collector-grade plant with rare visual complexity.

Arrival & Establishment Recommendation: Plants are shipped bare root and well-established. Upon arrival, pot promptly in a well-draining aroid mix and water thoroughly to rehydrate the root system before placing in its final growing spot.
