Anthurium Emerald Throne x Anthurium forgetii

A hybrid of Anth. Emerald Throne × Anth. forgetii, combining a vigorous ornamental hybrid with a prized South American species known for its velvety foliage. The leaves are elongated-ovate with an acuminate tip, prominent primary venation, fine secondary patterning, and a distinctly velvety surface 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 is essential to maintain the velvety surface quality and support 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.
